IMDb Movie of the Day
Portland, Oregon resident Matt McCormick started a screening series called Peripheral Produce in 1996. A couple years later Peripheral Produce morphed into a distributor with its own catalog of experimental film and video compilations, with a roster of filmmakers that includes Sam Green (Oscar-nominated for The Weather Underground) and Miranda July (a consummate artist whose Me and You and Everyone We Know broke out of the film festival circuit in 2005). McCormick is also no slouch behind the camera, as evidenced by From Tugboats to Polar Bears, a compilation of his short films, including The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal, a 15-minute masterpiece that asserts the process of destroying one art form unwittingly creates another. Ms. July narrates, addressing the collaborative process between graffiti writers and the city workers who are paid to roll paint over the works of said writers, resulting in a subliminal type of public art. McCormick juxtaposes paintings by Mark Rothko with images of covered-up graffiti from all over Portland; his slideshow of neutral-colored rectangles compete with Rothko's stunning works. July's playful diction mocks the ways in which art is typically described, though the irony is nearly lost during the presentation of one gorgeous shot after another. McCormick wants to acknowledge something he thinks is beautiful, however he's not above poking fun at his own pretension. It's no wonder that Art Forum and The Village Voice both called the short one of the top 10 films of 2002. - Arno Kazarian (more) (Movie of the Day Archive)
