@SLFS
Strengthening Salt Lake’s community through film
Salt Lake Film Society is a non-profit organization and you’re the point person on raising money; I’m a little afraid to ask, but what has your year been like?
How long have you worked for SLFS? I have worked with SLFS for four years. I started as a consultant and grant writer in 2010 and then was hired to be the full time development director in 2011.
What made you want to work for an organization so far from where you live? How did you hear about us? I met Tori and Amy Beth in 2006 as part of the Art House Convergence Leadership team. We worked together for 5 years to create and grow the Convergence as a national movement to organize independent cinemas and in 2009 launched an annual conference. At about this time my work fundraising for a capital campaign to build a cinema in my hometown in Washington State was complete. Tori asked me to join the SLFS team and help create the development department. We’ve accomplished so much working together these last four years. I’m really excited about how far SLFS has come and where we are heading in the future.
What draws you to film? Is it something you’re particularly excited about? I’ve been a film fan ever since I was a child. My parents often took me to Sunday afternoon classic movies run by our local film society in Central Pennsylvania. So I grew up with Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart and Astaire & Rogers. Later I graduated to Woody Allen and Mel Brooks. These days I watch lots of documentaries and foreign films and attend as many festivals as I can. My husband is in the movie business and teaches film so there’s no shortage of film viewing and discussion in my life.
Could you share some of your favorite films/actors/ genres? I’m a huge Krzysztof Kieslowski fan. I watch his three colors trilogy at least once a year. I have a soft spot for Claire Denis’ 35 Shots of Rum and pretty much anything by Nicole Holofcener, The Coen Brothers or Wes Anderson.
diverse and lesser known voices in film accessible is vital to educating and engaging citizens and creating healthy communities.
2013 has been a fabulous year for SLFS. We faced the What are your hopes for our organization’s biggest fundraising challenge in our 13-year history, future? raising $700,000 to meet the Digital Deadline and convert This is an exciting time for SLFS. As we evolve into a all of our screens to digital technology.

ARTIST TALK
T
acita Dean is one of the most celebrated British artists of the past two decades. Her newest film, JG, was shot in Utah’s desert, Great Salt Lake, and Salt Lake City’s Hogle Zoo. It takes
its point of departure from the physical and thematic interplay between a work of science fiction and a work of Land art: J. G. Ballard’s short story “The Voices of Time” (1960) and Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty (1970). In a series of conversations with Ballard prior to his death in 2009, Dean was encouraged to treat Spiral Jetty as a mystery that might be solved through a filmic investigation into the nature of history and material. Employing her patented technique of “aperture gate masking,” in which she uses stencil-like masks to alternately cover up and re-expose her film, Dean transfers images from one place to another, generating visual and conceptual juxtapositions within the space of the individual 35mm frame. Interspersing salt-encrusted landscapes, machines, and animals with a host of abstract shapes and voids, the film’s treatment of time and place parallels the effects of Ballard’s fiction and Smithson’s artwork. JG was commissioned by Arcadia University Art Gallery and funded by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, and is being presented at the UMFA in collaboration with Salt Lake Film Society.
