JB Blunk Film Screening + Talk with Nathan Zack

Experience an evening exploring the connections between film, wood, and the intuitive nature of making. Join us at MCD for a special talk and 16mm film screening with San Francisco-based artist Nathan Zack. Working with film, Zack embraces the limitations and unpredictability of analog filmmaking, where each frame is shaped by hand and every roll offers a finite opportunity to capture a place in time. His practice shares an affinity with Blunk’s approach to woodworking, finding beauty in the character of a material and allowing the subtractive process itself to guide the work. Through a screening of footage filmed at Blunk’s handbuilt home in Inverness, followed by a conversation about his process, Zack invites us to look beyond the finished object and consider the gestures and decisions that bring a work into being.
