UPDATE on Emily Hubley’s “The Faith Journal Project”

A update on filmmaker Emily Hubley’s crowdfunding project: The Faith Journal Project, a 3-part undertaking (short film, an installation and an application) related to the 7000+ self-portraits (in 49 journals) created by her mom, artist/filmmaker Faith Hubley, in the final decades of her life.

Says Emily, “We have completed scanning all the faces, gathered many great stills/other art for the screens AND have decided to include sketches from the journal pages (example below), of which we selected/scanned 600 this summer.

“And as you may know, I finished the short film Faithy, hey earlier this year and it has screened at the Montclair and Provincetown Film Festivals, in the Short Order Program (with brunch, yesterday!) at Alamo Drafthouses across the country, and will show next week as part of Animation Block Party at BAM (more news pending).”

“This has long been in the works,” says Hubley. “and now we are committing full time to the completion of these elements, for the purpose of creating an in-depth and expansive portrait of Faith, and with the determination to re-kindle more widespread interest in her work.”

A brief overview of The Faith Journal Project:

Faithy, hey will be a short personal animated film focusing on specific memories and a relationship altered by death. Discoveries and dreams unfold, while woe arrives at acceptance. With music by Georgia Hubley

Face the Day will be a six-screen installation. The faces appear in chronological order, punctuated by hundreds of captions from associated entries, and pieces of art (still and animated) from the given time. The portraits will be scanned, cleaned and positioned; captions and art, selected and edited. These will all combine to present a multi-layered depiction of an artist sharing her wisdom, fears, joy and vision. With music by Georgia Hubley

Sundays with Faith, a playful app in which faces from 1000+ Sundays fly by, and can be paused to reveal the date they were made and a distinct fun/poignant caption from that day’s entry.
