Canyon Cinema is pleased to announce that two new 16mm films by Barron Sherer are now available for rent.

Barron Sherer is a Miami-based media artist with a background in moving image archival practice and research. Taking the form of hybrid film/video remediations and projection-based media installations, Sherer’s work focuses on repurposing and manipulating found film, slides, video, and photographs through formal experimentation; utilizing social media platforms such as Instagram as both a source of material and a mode of documentation.

Sketch No. 1, Fire Station No. 9 (2024, 2 minutes, b&w, silent, 16mm)

Sketch No. 1 is artist Barron Sherer’s free-form documentation of pre-demolition site conditions of the historic Kendall Jackson Hospital Annex (circa 1935). Location actualities and the site’s formal and elegiac beauty are poetically explored and expressed through techniques and tropes common in experimental film.

Sketch No. 2, Fire Station No. 9 (2024, 2 minutes, color, sound, 16mm x 2)

Sketch No. 2 is a two-channel 16mm film projection by artist Barron Sherer. It documents the pre-demolition conditions of the historic Kendall Jackson Hospital Annex (circa 1935). Through a double exposure technique, Sherer’s cinematography layers temporal and spatial impressions of the hospital site. Archival Feedback (Emile Milgrim and Thom Wheeler Castillo) made audio field recordings on-site; the duo later mixed their sound work to create both consonance and dissonance with Sherer’s visual compositions.
