SMS Faculty Member Kathleen Rugh’s Film “Winter’s First Moon” Screened at Engauge Experimental Film Festival
KATHLEEN RUGH’S latest film “Winter’s First Moons” recently screened at the Engauge Experimental Film Festival in Seattle. Following the winter solstice, the longest nights of the year prevail. Through these darkest nights the moon reaches to its fullest. Filmed over numerous nights the moons of different phases are brought together in the black sky. Through multiple exposures on film and editing created in-camera, the moons move and bounce off one another in unpredictable ways. Official NASA sound recordings from space help activate their actions. The stoic moon breaks free and gravitates at will.
