Abstract
"Back Yard (right)," along with its counterpart "Back Yard (left)," comprise JoAnn Elam's dual projection film "Back Yard." The left and right portions of the film would have been presented side by side simultaneously. In the film, Elam documents the gardens, neighbors, and views from the back porch of her Logan Square, Chicago, apartment over multiple seasons of weather. That portions of this film relate to other reels made by Elam also labeled "Backyard" or "Back Porch" suggests the concept underwent different directions of editing and presentation over time.
This Super 8mm print was made from the original 8mm footage found in "Backyard (Original)"
