Shifting Perspectives: Vertical Cinema
Curated this exhibition at The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, exploring the roots of the vertical format dating back to the 1890s, the ways in which filmmakers optimize the format to create experimental work, and the contemporary proliferation of vertical filmmaking using portable smart devices. The exhibition also debuts three works by Southern Californian filmmakers: a desert dreams in red by Zaina Bseiso, Dusty Tapes by Fox Maxy, and black man fly by Walter Thompson-Hernández.
