This series contains early film works of George Sirk, shot on 16mm and Super 8 film and digitized by Doug McCaffry, of ScanLab, in 2022. Films include Cortes Island short films, two feature documentaries, and two longer films shot in Australia. They were shown at a film festival presented by Cortes Cinema and the Cortes Island Museum on July 17, 2022: "Out of the Archives: The Early Film works of George Sirk".
From the program notes: "George's films showcase a snapshot - in moving pictures - of some madcap antics, dramatization, and documentaries of life on Cortes during that period [1975-1981] and were inspired by the great humourists of silent film; Chaplin, Keaton and Jacques Tati (Monsieur Hulot), and likewise delight in stitching reality. Mostly shot in sequentially edited (in the camera, like the great film makers mentioned), rehearsals were key to smooth transitions and conserved valuable film stock."
