supplementary materials
FILM - 6 minute video on DVD (Disc has 20 repeats, for 2 hours of showing.)
The film is essentially a minimally-animated slide show. Originally made in 35mm for theatrical release, and again in 16mm for television showings, the film was widely seen in the late 1970s. Digitally remade from the original 35mm Kodachrome transparencies, the film took on new and expanded dimensions in the process, as the photographer experimented with animation techniques. In essence, the film is still a slide show, but has 50 % more images than the print exhibit.
BOOK - 64 page hardcover, with 87 color images.
Three copies of the book are provided as part of the participation fee.
Additional copies may be purchased for $10, shipping included, for retail sales: retail store price $24.
LECTURES/TALKS - 30 and 60 minute variations.
(20/40 minute scripts, with additional time for introductions and questions)
Elihu Blotnick, the photographer, is also a recognized poet and has written three narrative essays about his flag photography. He is a professional audiobook reader and voice-over narrator as well.
