Tone Glow is excited to announce “You Wouldn’t Steal a Movie,” a program featuring 10 found-footage experimental films. The event will be held at Sweet Void Cinema in Chicago on Saturday, September 14th at 7pm. Throughout history, avant-garde filmmakers have recycled, repurposed, and reimagined older images into their own liking. In culling from a diverse array of sources—advertisements and educational films, newsreels and major motion pictures—they’ve constructed novel works that prove spellbinding in their new contexts.

Amy Halpern (1953-2022) occupies a singular place in the history of American experimental cinema. She was a key figure who took part in many legendary film shoots and artistic projects, a tireless organizer who co-founded or directed several filmmakers’ associations, and, at the same time, an original and prolific filmmaker in her own right, whose works remained, until very recently, in the shadow of her contemporaries.
