Film Screening: an observance of absence

Screening of documentary ‘an observance of absence’ by Jason Pappariella

‘an observance of absence’ by Jason Pappariella is a documentary that blends interior and exterior spaces left vacant and dilapidated by the abandonment of Central & Eastern Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal region, with similarly neglected interior and exterior sites in postindustrial Central & Eastern Europe. The score, composed by Adam Parks (Lightning White Bison), is comprised of manipulated field recordings from both regions of the world, layered with ambient organ & synth instrumentals.
The film has a running time of 38 minutes

I recently completed a primarily West Coast tour here in the United States, and have been screening my films for over 20 years at venues such as ATA (San Francisco) Echo Park Film Center (Los Angeles) Newspace Center for Photography (Portland) Counterpath Gallery (Denver) and AS220 (Providence).
