Sidewalk Reservation Live: Wits Archi Film Fest
posted by Ismail Farouk at
Here are pics from the Sidewalk Reservation Live act at the Wits Great Hall. Murray and I used 7 projectors to create our massive projection surface. The performance was well received by about 100 people.
Sincere thanks to Eduardo Cachucho for organising the event and for facilitating our performance.
