Vladimir
Vladmaster are handmade viewmaster reels designed, photographed and hand-assembled by Vladimir.
Vladmasters make use of toys, neglected household objects, and odd ephemera to tell tiny 28-picture stories.
Many Vladmasters also feature mini-cd soundtracks with narration, sound effects, music and ding noises to cue the change from frame to frame.
Vladimir lives in Portland, Oregon where she projects movies at the Northwest Film Center and also works in the equipment room of their film school. She is 27 years old and a Scorpio. She has been hand-making and selling her own Vladmaster disks since May of 2003. In April of 2004 she debuted her first performance of the Lucifugia Thigmotaxis Vladmaster set at the Portland Documentary and Experimental (PDX) Film Festival where she was crowned, with more than a little tongue in cheek, the World Champion of Experimental Film. Recently, she managed to grab that title two years running, debuting Actaeon at Home at the 2005 PDX Film Festival.
Vladimir also makes and shows Super8 films with the Portland Super8 collective the Tiny Picture Club. Vladimir occasionally mass produces form letters and has created her own line of scratch-it Vladland lottery tickets. She enjoys riding her bicycle, building electronic circuits, and the very early films of Rene Clair.
