Robert Schaller: A Practice of Film as Music聽
Robert Schaller is a filmmaker and composer whose current projects revolve around the integration of film and classical chamber music, handmade pinhole cinematography, handmade film emulsion, and dance. His works have shown at many venues and festivals in the United States, Europe, and Australia. 聽Robert founded and directs the Handmade Film Institute, an internationally known non-profit organization based in the Rocky Mountain foothills west of Boulder, CO, that is dedicated to the understanding and teaching of photochemical processes as a tool for the making of cinematic art.聽He received his MFA in 1997 at the University of Colorado in Interdisciplinary Arts, working with Phil Solomon and Stan Brakhage. He was a faculty member at the University of Colorado, and subsequently taught at the San Francisco Art Institute. He teaches classes, seminars, and workshops with the Handmade Film Institute, and has been a teacher and visiting artist at numerous Colleges, Universities, and artist organizations around the world.
