Walk by Geoff Seelinger

Revisit Minneapolis in the early 80s from a walker's POV. This is a trippy 1983 journey from one part of Minneapolis to another. It begins with a guy who can hardly move. He slowly gains stuttered motion and utters basic letter sounds, then begins a real and imaginary walk. His journey is from his view - floating. At the end of this walk, he meets a friend. Walk's film surface is hand worked and street noise is composed as music-concrete. 16mm B/W 3

  • Ollie, I'm blown away that you found this! It was shot in b/w to save money as it was film. Also I was thinking that lack of color could make it more of an imaginary space. It maybe 84 but I was away in school 85'. I look at it now and I just think what a wacky film effort. I still love that the film surface is worked... I'm stunned by the time traveler too. -Geoff

  • @geoffoo My friend Ian sent me a link, and then bugged me all day to ask if I had watched it yet. It took me a minute to recognize myself, but I recognized my then-girlfriend right away. I have no memory of this at all, but I noticed that I looked at the camera as you walked past us, so I was aware of it at the time.

    This is a great snapshot of a certain time, and I am so glad that you made it, and decided to share it with all of us.

  • This video just reaffirms in my mind that the roads have always been crap in MPLS.

  • Wow. Block E, back when it was.

  • Daddy, what's an Oarfolkjokeopus?

  • @indiemusicresources It would involve walking through the expanded Mcdonald's, but, I think it would be cool to see a 2012 version!

  • Wow its crazy to see what Minneapolis looked like back then, Me being a youngin and all. I recognized most of these places but there re some big differences!

  • Dave Eager (RIP) at 18:00 and Delmar The Drummer (RIP) at 16:16

  • Where are all the fat people?

  • This is fascinating to watch. I love 80s footage like this! Especially when it's local. I see the Uptown theater is still recognizable.
