Untitled \/ Seven Years<\/em> yang sempat hilang dan ditemukan pada tahun 2015 berisi pengakuan Scott terhadap rasa kehilangan, penyakit, dan seksualitas kepada ibunya yang telah tiada. Pemakaman ibunya dijadikan lokasi dalam filem ini. Anamnesis <\/em>terinspirasi dari foto-foto yang diwariskannya untuk mengeksplorasi rumah, ingatan, dan sejarah yang dibuat dengan tangan di ruang gelap dengan menambahkan warna secara manual dengan tinta. Beth Olem \/ House of the World <\/em>berlokasi di pemakaman Yahudi Beth Olem di Detroit yang dipagari oleh General Motors untuk membangun pabrik perakitan di dekat pemakaman tersebut. Kini, Beth Olem hanya buka 4 jam per tahun, terlepas dari 1.400 penghuni di sekitarnya.<\/p>\n Cuplikan filem “Ars Memorativa”. \/ A scene from “Ars Memorativa”.<\/p><\/div>\n Ceci N\u2019est Pas <\/em>karya Jeanne Liotta, yang sengaja ditambahkan ke dalam kurasi tersebut untuk memperkaya ide dokumenter personal yang disajikan oleh Scott, bercerita mengenai perjalanannya ke New Orleans, naik kereta, dan kematian seorang sahabat dan seniman. Diproses dengan tangan dan tak disunting, Jeanne percaya bahwa filem adalah pengarang dan pembuat bagi dirinya sendiri. Filem terakhir adalah Ars Memorativa \/ Art of Memory<\/em> karya Scott yang memakan waktu 6 tahun untuk membuatnya, yang fokus pada 4 subjek utama orang-orang di sekitar Scott, yaitu bibi, teman, kolega, dan stranger<\/em>. Filem ini menceritakan tentang apa yang terjadi kepada orang yang ditinggalkan setelah seseorang meninggal .<\/p>\n Dengan penonton sebanyak 33 orang, banyak yang menganggap kisah Scott dalam pembuatan filem itu menarik. Di antara beberapa pertanyaan yang diajukan, salah satunya menyinggung tentang bagaimana ia mengelola perasaan yang dituangkannya ke dalam filem yang menyangkut bidang personal kehidupan Scott yang penuh duka. Scott justru cenderung untuk tidak mencoba me-\u201cmanajemen\u201d perasaannya. Ia mengakui bahwa cukup sulit untuk berkomitmen kepada realitas dan kejujuran atas emosi pribadi dalam membuat karya, karena mudahnya perasaan tersebut untuk terdistorsi. Untuk mempertahankan keautentikannya, ia mencoba untuk tidak mengontrol dan memikirkan hal itu. Ada saat-saat ketika Scott akan tiba-tiba menangis tanpa berusaha untuk mengerti.<\/p>\n Scott, yang tidak menganggap dirinya sebagai seniman ini, berpendapat bahwa yang terpenting dari proses pembuatan filem adalah perasaan di dalamnya. Ia terus berusaha untuk tetap berfokus kepada proses dan apa yang terjadi di dalamnya. Sementara itu, saat ini ia sedang mengerjakan sebuah filem yang merupakan ekstensi dari filem-filem yang ditayangkan saat itu. Pada proses pembuatan filem itu, ia mencoba mengisahkan asal usul orang tuanya yang dulu bermigrasi ke Detroit.[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” border_color=”#f1f1f1″ margin_top=”40″ margin_bottom=”40″][vc_column_text]\n <\/p>\n On August 21st, ARKIPEL social\/kapital \u2013 4th<\/sup> Jakarta International Documentary & Experimental Film Festival was held at Kineforum, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta. At 11 am, the first program was launched with Scott Miller Berry\u2019s special presentation. Scott was managing director for Workman Arts, an art and also mental health organization that worked on Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival. He also acted as ARKIPEL International jury. He chose five films to present as his personal documentary focused on death, grievance, memory, and collective history. Scott discussed those narrations then with his playful manner.<\/span><\/p>\n Untitled \/ Seven Years<\/em>, a film that was once lost in 2015, depicted Scott\u2019s confession on loss, illness, and sexuality to her late mother. His mother\u2019s burial was set as film location. Anamnesis <\/em>was inspired from inherited photographs of which were used to explore home, memory, and history that was made in dark room with manual colouring. Beth Olem<\/em>\/House of the World<\/em> was located in Jewish Beth Olem cemetery in Detroit, fenced by General Motors company that built its assembling factory near by. Now, Beth Olem only opened for 4 hours in a year, despite it had 1.400 dead bodies burried in there.<\/span><\/p>\n Ceci N\u2019est Pas <\/em>by Jeanne Liotta were deliberately enclosed in his presentation to enrich his personal documentary, portraying Jeanne\u2019s journey to New Orleans by train, and the death of an artist and a friend. As her movie was made in raw footage and not edited, Jeanne believe that film was an author and the maker of itself. The last film screened was Ars Memorativa \/ Art of Memory <\/em>by Scott that took six years to make, focusing on 4 main subjects around him; his aunt, friend, colleague, and a stranger. Ars Memorative <\/em>told us about what happened to ones who were left by the deceased.<\/span><\/p>\n Many of 33 people who attended his program expressed their interests and excitements. One particular question for Scott was how to deal his feeling when documenting such sad chapters of his life. To his answer, Scott said that he didn\u2019t really manage his feeling, and instead it was difficult for him to commit to such things as feelings and his personal acceptance through his life were easily \u2018distorted\u2019. Then, to maintain the authenticity, he tried not to control or think about \u2018managing feeling\u2019. There were some times when Scott cried during the filmmaking\u00a0 and he wouldn\u2019t rationalize it.<\/span><\/p>\n Scott, who never regarded himself as an artist, argued that the important thing in filmmaking process was the feeling within. He tried to focus to process and the dynamics that happened in a film. Nowadays, he worked extension of his films that were screened during the program. He attempted to tell the story of his parents who migrated to Detroit.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On August 21st, ARKIPEL social\/kapital \u2013 4th Jakarta International Documentary & Experimental Film Festival was held at Kineforum, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta.
