Lisa Rovner

Think of early electronic music and you’ll likely see men pushing buttons, knobs, and boundaries. While electronic music is often perceived as a boys' club, the truth is that from the very beginning women have been integral in inventing the devices, techniques and tropes that would define the shape of sound for years to come.

After 28 years of filming in Super 8 format, Lisa Rovner's Cinématon No. 2116, shot on May 23, 2006, is, following the cessation of production of Kodachrome film, the last film filmed on this cinematographic medium. It should have been the last one altogether if, after much reflection, I had not decided to continue the adventure in digital format. A second camera – a video one, this time – filmed this “historic” event.
