Becoming, and I Like What I've Found: The Personal Cinema of Andrew Tamburrino

Andrew Tamburrino presents a collection of his 16mm work made over four years, tracking a tumultuous time, but also a settling back into the person he is and wants to be. BECOMING explores nature, community, and the photochemical process, often using atypical film stocks, developing techniques, and other experimental methods to embody the belief that life is planned happenstance, chaotic order. This kaleidoscopic view combines the overlapping images and frenetic rhythms of life in our present world with the quiet contemplation of a life many of us would like to seek out instead. His practice is a dedication to continuing the legacy of 16mm filmmaking, production, and presentation, and his career as a film preservationist and projectionist is an extension of that commitment.
