Ariana and Monte are apparently compelled to make their work out of the most neglected and mundane subjects and objects.
They are currently working on separate short films about hair and sidewalks, respectively.
Ariana and Monte will soon be embarking on a new feature documentary project so stay tuned!
Ariana Gerstein
has made many short experimental films
which have won awards and screened
internationally.
Her first collaboration with Monte was
with the documentary Hybrid.
Ariana also constructs light box collages
with any film that doesn’t make it into the
final piece.
She teaches film and video
production in the Cinema Department
Binghamton University.
Monteith McCollum
is an independent artist /filmmaker
whose films Hybrid and Lawn have won
awards and screened in theaters
and on public television screens
internationally.
He makes music for his and Ariana’s films
with saws, violins, and any thing else found
around his barn in upstate New York.
During the least hospitable weather and
times of day, he can be found wondering
about the landscape with a
hand-cranked Bolex.
