From the first time an upright humanoid etched images into stone, the act of communicating through art has been pivotal to the human race.

Today, film, music and new media are the prominent voices of global communication. We currently have at our disposal a form of expression more potent than our predecessors' wildest dreams. Elevate is a movement of professional artists seeking to unleash a higher expression of ourselves through our work.

It is our intent to usher in a new paradigm of possibilities that even the most remote tribes can receive and reflect back at us.

Our mission is to utilize the awesome power of art and media to celebrate and elevate the human experience.

"You never know what you're going to get."

Flicker is an ongoing film screening dedicated to giving Super 8 and 16mm filmmakers an outlet and forum for their short films.

Here's how it works:
Each filmmaker chooses one roll (50 feet) of KODAK Super 8 film. Tri-x (black & white) Plus-x (black & white) Ektachrome (color) Vision 200 (color negative) Vision 500 (color negative). The filmmakers shoot their films in order, in other words, all editing and cuts that are made, are made IN CAMERA. There are no splicers used. To make sure of this, the filmmakers turn in their "unprocessed" film to Flicker. Flicker hands the film over to Yale film and video for processing. The films are then transferred at Yale to digi-beta for viewing on the large Egyptian screen. The films are transferred for best color and contrast - NO EDITS or CUTS are made within the content of the film. The filmmakers give flicker their music, soundtrack, soundscape which will be orginal scores created for their film. The sound is started with the first picture, so if it works it works. It's all up in the air, like life, everyday a surprise. You never know what you're going to get. And that's the way it is with the daring and nervous filmmakers awaiting this year's ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT REELS!!!
