"Pigeon" is one of dozens of short films made exclusively on Super 8 Kodachrome between 2001-2005 by the SF X-Corpse Super 8 group.
The San Francisco Exquisite Corpse Super 8 group (SF X-Corpse) are made up of a rotating group of artists from a variety of arts backgrounds; painting, photography, sculpture, performance art, and film who participated in the making of these films, in many cases with limited film experience. In a direct sense the films are experiments in a visual narrative and provide alternative ideas about the subject. In an indirect sense these films capture a moment in San Francisco and the lives of those participating in the films.
The impetus for the Exquisite Corpse Films follows from the original surrealist construct presented by Andre Breton in 1920. Each film was created using a 3 minute cartridge of Kodachrome super 8 film and was assigned a topic chosen by the group, with (6) 30 second opportunities to describe the subject. The filmmakers edited their contributions 'in camera' and the films are presented as they were shot.
