Perhaps shot on Lake Michigan in 1976, Sailboat by JoAnn Elam consists of a series of rapidly edited shots of sailboats in the distance. The framing and editing produce a remarkable effect, with the sailboat in the middle of the screen getting closer and then further away within seconds. As this collection makes manifest, such experimentations with the camera characterize most of Elam’s film work.
