Tony Conrad, 4/27/2017, The Flicker.

 I really enjoyed this event for many different aspects. At first I didn’t go in with full knowledge of what the night consisted of and what was exactly going to be shown. I did know it was about Tony Conrad because of our introduction to him in class earlier in the semester. Not to give a full review of the documentary shown by Tyler Hubby, but I thought the documentary was well executed. It’s the kind of film that I enjoy and with a story that grabbed my attention. When I was shooting films back in 2010, this was exactly the kind of film that I gravitated to. When it came to the part of the night where the flicker was being shown. I was scared, thankfully I had Jackie there to hold my hand. My thoughts were, “I don’t think I have epilepsy but I also don’t want tonight to be the night where I find out I do.” I figured I would stay and watch it since we were there already (with an old fashioned in hand). I was semi-upset at the end because I did not see colors or anything in the flicker. I did see some sort of figure developing but it could have been me just thinking I saw something because I really wanted to see something. I was so happy that I didn’t have a seizure though.
