A trio of films by Boston-based filmmaker Luther Price.
Meat Chapter Three (Luther Price, 2015, approx. 7 mins)
In the last decade, Price has been creating projected images from altered 35mm photographic slides, adding bits of other material like snippets of Super 8, 16mm or 35mm movie footage, hair, skin, dust and other detritus. His Meat series draws on imagery of damaged bodies and disturbed domesticity,

Warm Broth (Tom Rhoads, 1987-88, 36 mins)
A pull-string voice and dead-eyed dolls, home movies and the occasional shot of sexual penetration. Like much of Price’s work, the WARM BROTH is at once unsettling and heart-tuggingly poignant.

Home (Luther Price, 1999, 13 mins)
The sights and sounds of Price’s domestic life—snapshots of his mother, along with her voice; a shopping list on a refrigerator; a box of donuts on the kitchen table—combine into a melancholy lullaby, homely and unheimlich, the images and recordings looped, distorted, and partially destroyed.
