Setting West

This film was made with original printing materials from the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, such as wood type, borders and stereotypes of ​“cowboys and Indians,” trains and bison. These words and images were printed directly onto 35mm clear film stock, producing a unique texture on screen, as well as generating an original optical sound track. Setting West reinterprets a classic film genre while exploring a formative period in the history of typography and printing.
