This twenty-three minute experimental
documentary was shot (ENTIRELY ON SUPER 8 FILM) over the last few years
by Melanie and Geoff. Together they edited the footage and completed
this unique film in January of 2003. The film features family, friends,
artists and interesting folks, as well as atmospheric (and driving)
music by Joe West and Howe Gelb.

Eight Movements is an experimental
documentary both in form and content. Rather than presenting a person
or an event, it focuses on an idea. Movement is the force within choices,
changes, and the creative spark of self. Flickering Super 8 film and
engaging musical accompaniments enhance the journeys from sub-atomic
chemical reactions to personal addiction; from female artistic expression
to railroad expansion into a West filled with the smoke of human error.
Like a song, each piece is unique but linked to the bittersweet and
hopeful reality of movement.

Eight Movements is a film which was
created over the course of five years. During that time some portions
of the film screened on their own at a few festivals and garnered their
own recognition before the entire project was completed. Click
