| Program Notes |
| Since 1999 the Wisconsin Bioscope Company has produced films as they were made before the First World War. That is to say: short, silent, simple, 35mm, black & white motion pictures made by a handful of people with a hand-cranked camera, to be developed and printed in the company’s own small laboratory. This year’s films were made in the autumn of 2006 by two production units, one at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the other at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Cosmo’s Magical Melt-A-Ways was directly inspired by the English film The Mystic Mat (1913, Dave Aylott) and was produced by Leslie Midkiff DeBauche, a media studies professor at the UW-Stevens Point. – DAN FULLER |
