World's Fair and Exhibition

About This Movie

So, 'World's Fair and Exhibition' is a real curiosity from '97. Shot all in one day by Brian L. at the San Francisco Art Institute, it has this raw, intimate vibe that's hard to shake off. The way he handled the Kodak RAR gun camera film, processing it himself, adds a layer of DIY charm—you can really feel the hands-on approach. The pacing is meditative, almost hypnotic, and it gives you that sense of wandering through various exhibitions, reflecting on the nature of art and experience. There’s something striking about its simplicity, almost like a personal diary captured in film, and that’s what sets it apart from other works of the time.

This film is quite scarce, with few prints circulating among collectors. Its unique process, having been shot and edited independently, makes it a fascinating piece of art history. The film's intimate approach and experimental nature appeal to niche collectors, particularly those interested in underground cinema from the late '90s.
