What does it mean to keep a diary? If you're a child, it's probably under lock and key, its entries helping you form yourself as a private, reflective being, separate from your family. If an adult, the act may be private, secretive even, or may include the possibility of future publication; you may chronicle your family, travels or appointments, daily moments or historical events; you may seek self knowledge or to improve the world. The series, Dear Diary: Selected Entries seeks to explore the use of diary in film and video, media which of course are usually experienced publicly. While Godard has called film "truth, 24 times a second," how honest can one be confessing to unknown, anonymous audiences, but perhaps among them one's parents, one's friends? As a memory device, a means of formulating ideas about oneself, a picture of the present for the future, a diary is both a record and an expression. The maker is often central character, artist and technician, generating material which is fragmented and of the moment then shaping and giving it form at a later time. In a period when the private is made public daily on talk show television, the ability to reflect on one's experience and to create something meaningful from this process is worth noting.-Kathy GeritzWanted: Home MoviesFor a special program on Tuesday June 17Do you have home movies of family events, parties with friends, your travels?
