In honor of our Artopia party on February 10, Cultist proudly presents "100 Creatives," where we feature Miami's cultural superheroes in random order. Have suggestions for future profiles? Email [email protected] with the whos and whys.
27. Barron Sherer
Well-known film critics call Barron Sherer's knowledge of film history "encyclopedic." That may be because Barron Sherer got to toil around the film archives at the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Archives as its archives curator and preservationist for 11 years. As a curator and preservationist, he researched moving images for Oscar-nominated films, including The Weather Underground and Milk. As all talented film junkies eventually do, Sherer decided to start
making his own celluloid works for posterity.
His contributions to the
annals of film history include Party Trick (1995), The Eden Project (2003), and Consumption Junction (2006). His works have shown at the Miami Beach Cinematheque and MOCA's Optic Nerve.
though he's kept busy as an auteur, he still manages to put together
film workshops and exhibits. He teaches 16mm film collage techniques to
aspiring Kenneth Angers at film workshops and he recently curated the
film series "Searching for Security in an Insecure World" at the
Wolfsonian and co-programs a pop-up cinema event "Super 8 Night"
with artist Kevin Arrow at Bas Fisher Invitational and other venues.
