JACKA SPADES
2009, performance

JACKA SPADES (a.k.a. GET THIS PICTURE HERE)2009, Super 8mm, 34 minutes, black and white, sound. Steve Dalachinsky, with the aid of Yuko Otomo and cinematographer Andrew Lampert, is given the chance to direct his dream film. This is not that, but rather the result of what they shot that day presented in real time as they filmed it. In the end, this is always what the film was supposed to be; what Steve wanted is another story heard on the soundtrack of the images gathered within. Shot in February 2009 on the streets of Soho, and mostly edited in-camera, this movie is never shown the same way twice. JACKA SPADES (a.k.a GET THIS PICTURE HERE) is the second installment in Lampert’s TABLES TURNED trilogy. In this series, the filmmaker hands over direction of the movie to his subjects. “I think I always wanted to be the actor, not the director.” – Steve Dalachinsky from the soundtrack
