Celebrating Caryn Capotosto (), Executive Producer on — just featured in ’s Chicago Film50 🎉

From Caryn: “I staked my flag back in Chicago just before the pandemic and since 2020 split my time and have had many exciting collaborations with Chicago doc filmmakers: ‘Surf Nation’ () produced by then-local Diane Quon, Mark Mitten and Nevo Shinaar; ‘Westermann: Memorial To The Idea of Man If He Was An Idea’ with Leslie Buchbinder, Brian Ashby and Harrison Sherrod; ‘No One Asked You,’ () Ruth Leitman’s film with an all-Chicago team of badass producers; ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’ () was shot by local cinematographer Keith Walker and too many others to name right now.

Jenn Kidd, Executive Director of The Nightlight, had this to say about the event:

“The Nightlight is proud to bring this extraordinary art film to Akron, continuing our city’s rich history of engaging with innovative artworks. Building on the Akron Art Museum’s past exhibitions of Westermann sculptures, this film takes audience immersion to new heights through cutting-edge 3D technology. We’re witnessing a revolution in documentary filmmaking, where stereoscopic cameras and advanced rigs allow directors to represent artists and their works with unprecedented eloquence and depth. Pentimenti Productions has harnessed these tools to create an engrossing journey into Westermann’s artwork and life story. This film exemplifies how immersive technology is transforming the art of cinema itself, offering our community a chance to experience art in a profoundly new way.”

Quotes from Ben Sachs’ review on :

“This nonfiction portrait of the postwar American sculptor H.C. Westermann is as visually engaging as it is informative.”

“The complicated truths of Westermann’s life and art emerge through carefully selected biographical detail and respectful considerations of his creative output that respond to the work in cinematic terms—in other words, this does what artist biopics are supposed to do.”

Honored to be featured!

2024 Spotlight (4/4 - ._.anne)

Veronica Anne Salinas — “Untitled, Iowa”

Veronica Anne Salinas is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, writer, and Deep Listener currently based in Chicago. Her creative research engages the fields of sound, landscape studies, ecology, writing, performance, the archive, and video. Her work in sound focuses on acoustic ecology, text scores, sound walks, listening practices, spatial audio, improvisation, and performance. Veronica holds an MFA in Sound from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has studied Deep Listening at the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She also serves as a teaching artist for the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology and at Campbient, a 48-hour sound arts residency.

By celebrating Mendieta’s artistry and her deep connection with the land, Untitled, Iowa seeks to build a dialogue among artists about the ways in which work intersects with the landscape and spiritual exploration.The video and original score explores the spirit of the artist Ana Mendieta in the Iowan landscape. Untitled, Iowa was created on site-specific grounds on which Mendieta conducted many of her earth-body pieces. Many of these documented works were given the title “Untitled, Iowa,” as an acknowledgement of her presence within the landscape. Often overlooked in her artistic influence, Iowa (U.S.) is the place where Ana Mendieta immigrated to from Cuba, spent most of her short life creating work with the landscape, and is forever laid to rest. This short is done as a memorial. A portrait. A spiritual conjuring.

This year’s application is now open — Deadline August 31. Link in bio!
