Chronicle of a Spring. Call for projects
A new media art project calls for work and people online willing to participate in their project called Chronicle of a Spring.
An update of the 1961 French documentary Chronique d'un été (Chronicle of a Summer), this work collects video clips collected on digital cameras and video phones filmed in the spring of 2007. Both friends and strangers were approached with questions about the what makes them happy and the way they live.
"Chronicle of A Spring" is not limited to the scope of our short film and the area of Providence, however. By distributing the film through YouTube.com the project also encourages participation from users all over the globe. Along with the short film, we created a YouTube group and uploaded much of our raw footage of the impromptu interviews. There, the original interviews can be viewed, commented on, or responded to with other videos.
