UnionDocs presents the first screening of the Optical Boundaries tour. This program features three filmmakers whose respective works explore a variety of environments as well as the formal properties of the film medium. Though working independently, their films culminate in an examination of the film material as a true document of past and present. Each artist calls attention to the process of separation and recombination through the use of discarded View-master cells, appropriated 16mm nature footage, and a kaleidoscopic amalgam of the new and old world.
Program runtime approximately 60 minutes.
HHOOWWLLby Steve Cossman
USA, 2010, 7 minutes, 16mm
Shot on a Kodak Cine II special effects camera, a collection of recognizable masks are captured and layered on film. The screaming colors fuse together in a choir of haunting forms, slipping and melting on the screens surface.
CRUSHERby Steve Cossman
USA, 2010 video transferred to 16mm
An unabridged photograph translated from its still print. Read left to right, pixel by pixel, CRUSHER mechanically sequences single color as single frame creating organic waves of color.
TUSSLEMUSCLE by Steve Cossman
USA, 2007-9, 5 minutes, 16mm
The work presented is a reflection on humanity’s ecological relationship and the ritual of restoration. The violent pulse speaks with a sense of urgency and chaotic struggle while the hypnotic arrangement keeps us in blinding awe us to its condition. TUSSLEMUSCLE is composed of 7,000 single frames, which were appropriated from view-master reel cells. Each frame was hand-spliced to create a linear film-strip.
tonal tide by Ross Nugent
USA, 2009,9 minutes, 16mm
This camera-less film was conceived as a darkroom performance to expose the potential and vulnerability of the color film stock at hand. Both the image and sound were created by flashing raw stock; a peculiar pattern emerged in the soundtrack area as light was scattered by the edge of the film base.
Spillway Study/ Carpe Diez by Ross Nugent
USA, 2010, 8 minutes, 16mm
This three-projector piece was created as a color separation project using 16mm Kodachrome nature photography footage from the late ‘70s as its source. The original was optically printed onto three strands and arranged to simultaneously abstract and call attention to the forces at hand. Using a primary color filter on each projector (R-G-B) and some precise hand-jiving, I combine the images and tease out a range colors.
Sahara Mosaic by Fern Silva
USA, 2009, 10 minutes, 16mm
An orientalist kaleidoscope that constitutes a geographically complex yet cinematic whole. From Egypt to Las Vegas: the old and the new world are reflected and doubled in this experimental travelogue.
Steve Cossman received his BFA in Sculpture from Albright College and went on to study Animation in the Czech Republic at FAMU. After returning to the United States, he worked as artist assistant to John Chamberlain from 2006-2009 during which his focus turned primarily to film and video work. Currently he lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. There he is founder/director of Mono No Aware, an ‘annual exhibition of expanded cinema’ showcasing contemporary artists who incorporate live projections as part of their work. Cossman believes that ‘time is constantly moving within a framework of units and that this irrepressible motion is the nexus of human experience’. Working to create a resonating interval, he often re-structures a familiar sequence within a patterned visual language causing the viewer to give thought to established perceptional relationships. Recent film screenings of his work include Ann Arbor Film Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, and VideoEx in Zurich. His work can be found in the collections of the University of Seattle, WA, University of Hartford Art School, and The Len Lye Foundation, New Zealand. A solo show of his video works will be held in March 2011 at Trinity College, CT.
Ross Nugent hails from wilds of Western Pennsylvania. He earned a BA in Film Studies at the University of Pittsburgh and studied film and video production at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, where he began working in media exhibition in 2003. Ross served as the Exhibition Coordinator from 2005-2008, and matriculated to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to pursue an MFA in Film. He is also the Program Manager of the UWM Union Theatre, the Faculty Advisor for the Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, and an instructor in the Film Dept.
His film, video, installation, and sculptural work is rooted in using process-oriented techniques of film production, including contact and optical printing, and examines nostalgia and decay as mediated through cinema. Poetic gestures emerge through hand-manipulation of film material, which serves as the impetus for many of his artistic endeavors. His current work includes live cinema projects. Exhibitions of these multi-projector performances include The Museum of Modern Art (NYC) as part of a group show utilizing Analyst projectors, Mono No Aware (NYC), and recently at the Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival (Chicago).
Since 2005, Fern Silva has been an active filmmaker whose personal journeys and impulsery disposition give rise to his visionary process. He has created a body of film, video, and projection work that conveys a congruent existence through the aesthetics of reflections and detriments within controlled microcosms. His work has been screened and performed at various festivals, galleries, and cinematheques including International Film Festival Rotterdam, New York Film Festival, Anthology Film Archive, Images Festival, IndieLisboa International Film Festival, Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, Biennale Bandits-Mages Festival, Roulette Gallery, Millennium Film Workshop, White Box Gallery, 119 Gallery, and P.S.1. Fern Silva is from central Connecticut, he received a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and his MFA from Bard College. Fern will be screening two works as part of this years Views from the Avant-Garde.
Native brook trout acclimate after being released into a nearly one-mile restored section of Piney Run in Purcellville, Va., on Jan. 8, 2021. It may be the first time in over a century that brook trout have existed in the waterway, according to Joe Bane, operations manager of Loudoun Mitigation Bank, LLC., who has led the restoration effort on property that has been in his family for generations, and that is conserved through the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust.

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has been involved in incredible environmental outreach services since 1972. Though they do an amazing job on their own of educating curious world citizens through their extensive and detailed website and programs, various celebrities have volunteered to stand alongside them to support their cause.
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and Academy Award nominee, Don Cheadle have both been appointed as ambassadors for UNEP, exuding great effort to help bring awareness and support to the important work UNEP is doing.
Loyal Studios in Santa Monica was proud to lend its studio to Bundchen and Cheadle, having had previously worked with Cheadle on a commercial in January, 2011–co-produced by Loyal Studios owner, Bob Bekian.
Their relationship continued when Cheadle formally asked Bekian to co-produce a spot for UNEP. Bekian happily donated his Santa Monica facility and production services, equipment, and crew for the project in support of Cheadle and Bundchen, and their cause.
“The added bonus was working with Gisele.” Bekian states. “She is super cool, very down-to-earth, and genuinely a nice person.” The shoot ran flawlessly, and everyone enjoyed the experience of working with such incredibly talented and kind artists. “Our goal is to make professional production fun,” Bekian says, “and we want to do our part to help our world become a better place.”
The UNEP’s mission statement is, “To provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.”
Gisele, Don Cheadle, and Loyal Studios are focused on putting the word out on the importance of caring about what we use our Earth for, while working in conjunction with our natural ecosystems to create a sustainable green economy.

We made this model from discarded paper to celebrate the World Environment Day. It has been installed in the main foyer of Big Cinemas at Pune. We highlighted the edges and creases on this model by adding strips of film posters.
The model is 7 ft high and 10 ft wide.
The base model is a John Montroll design.

The scenarios from the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) project that temperatures will increase dramatically in the Arctic, more than in many other parts of the world. This leads to effects, such as the decrease of area (e.g. tundra) under continuous permafrost, the northward move of the tree line and the decrease of Arctic Sea Ice. The synthesis is based on several different models and ensables and this map depicts the situation at the end of this century.

Language not only communicates, it defines culture, nature, history, humanity, and ancestry. The indigenous languages of the Arctic have been formed and shaped in close contact with their environment. They are a valuable source of information and a wealth of knowledge on human interactions with nature is encoded in these languages. If a language is lost, a world is lost. This deep knowledge and interconnections is expressed in Arctic song, subsistence practices, and other cultural expressions but especially in place names across the Arctic. Place names of the indigenous peoples reflect subsistence practices, stories, dwelling sites, spawning sites, migratory routes of animals, and links to the sacred realms of the indigenous peoples of the north. This map presents the original languages of the respective indigenous peoples, even if they do not speak their languages today. Notes: Overlapping populations are not shown. The map does not claim to show exact boundaries between the individual language groups. Typical colonial populations, which are not traditional Arctic populations, are not shown (Danes in Greenland, Russians in the Russian Federation, non-native Americans in North America).

In connection with the success of Wings of Qatar, the exhibition which we had conducted during the Qatar Environment Day at Hyatt Plaza a couple of months ago, we got recognition and appreciation from many nature lovers and media.
As a result, we got many queries to conduct Wings of Qatar again in different places. We got an offer from RasGas to carry out an exhibition in connection with World Environment Day for their staff and family. We have conducted the first phase at RasGas Tower during 6th to 8th of June and June 10-12 at Al-Khor Community.
As you can guess, it’s a great recognition for us and we have sticked with our commitment towards quality, as we do always. Last time we displayed about 80 images and we have increased the number to one hundred and four.
Also, keep in mind that this is just a beginning of some great triumphs DK plans to grab including a web site for Wings of Qatar and ultimately a reference book of Birds of Qatar.
Wings of Qatar is not just a photographic exhibition, but the one and only brand for bird photography in Qatar.
This world is too beautiful to be destroyed for our daily needs !!
On this World Environment day, I pledge to :
- Check and fix all leaking taps and pipes in my home.
- Avoid all electricity wastage by:
o Switch off electrical appliances when not in active use
o Put mobile/battery chargers off the plug point and not to leave appliances in standby mode to save the electricity from "vampire power".
o Switch off computer mointors at home/office when not in use.
- Avoid using vehicles when I can walk.
- Reduce usage of papers.
- Create awareness about conserving environment in people around me.
Conserve or Perish ... we are left with only two options now !!
Share your ideas/plans/actions for saving our Earth on this Environment day.
Julie Lawson, Director of Trash Free Maryland, and Stiv Wilson, Campaign Director of The Story of Stuff Project, lead a research effort to collect microplastic samples from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland on Sept. 4, 2015. The team used a manta trawl for the study, which sought to find out how much plastic waste is in the Chesapeake Bay, what kinds of plastic it is, and where it is coming from.

Sylhet, Bangladesh. 22 December 2012. Ready for create raw materials and sell to other hand. Plastic recycling factory, Sylhet, Bangladesh.
The number of poor people is increasing day by day in Bangladesh, Economic and social disparities level is in the earth to sky. The poor become poorer and Rich people are richer. Nearly 60% of people live below the poverty limit in the village areas in Bangladesh. Some Poverty victim women and their family come to the big cities and do day laborer works in the small enterprises like plastic recycling factories which is harmful for health. But they have to work in these unhealthy work environments, for surviving their livelihood by earning daily wages of 100 to120 taka. (USD 1.2-1.4).
“Tokai”, Known as street children, A large group of child worker, they always search for saleable and recyclable Plastic Materials from dirt, garbage, roads, the dock and from pedestrian walkways. There are mid level shops where they sell their daily stocks. After that these plastics transferred to the recycle places for further process. There are some groups of people working to separate the different colors of the bottle, cutting, washing, drying and packaging. Some collect oil from destroyed bottle for their self.
Plastic packaging and plastic rings, Plastic bags for more plastic things,
Plastic bottles for the water you drink, But plastic causes death so stop and think!
Millions of sea birds and turtles painfully die, after eating plastic that floats on by,
Plastic thrown away and out of reach, Ends up as plastic sand on a plastic beach,
Plastic sold for consumer cash, Fills our oceans with plastic trash.
Recycling is the future of waste disposal. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables. Typically a plastic is not recycled into the same type of plastic, and products made from recycled plastics are often not recyclable. Photo by Md. Akhlas Uddin/Pacific Press
