Synopsis
The Rubber Stamp Film was created on 5000 index cards that were purchased at the local grocery store in Sisters, Oregon, using rubber stamps, watercolors and felt pens. Found audio from wax cylinder recordings and an interview with Priestley's Grandmother, Eva Irene Kennedy, were used in the multi-layered soundtrack.
Release
The film was re-released on DVD in 2006 by Microcinema International[4]. It was screened in a retrospective of Priestley's works in April 2009.[5]
Reception
“An imaginative, witty and energetic film. The images are all made from new and old rubber stamps which combine, entangle and collide at a rapid and joyous pace. A hundred little stories are told as the images zip by to a collaged sound-track of voices and musical fragments. Pure delight!” -Melinda Ward, Walker Art Center
“Delightful and inventive…Priestley’s film is full of whimsy from start to finish.” -Ted Mahar, The Oregonian
