While “Back Porch” shares title with several of Elams’ films, the content of this film appears completely unrelated to others. In its short duration, what the piece does consist of is young adults leisurely gathering. Outside, a group lingers near a pavilion: congregating, mingling, and drinking Coors. While the sequence transpires, red, yellow, and blue colors flare across the screen.
