Examine the life and storied career ofhttps://vimeo.com/user6950350">Braddock-based filmmaker Tony Buba in a new documentary short produced in partnership between 90.5 WESA and Carnegie Museum of Art. The film, No Place but Home, was produced by Ryan Loew and Matthew Newton. It premiered last week at a CMOA event.
For more than four decades, Buba has chronicled the good, bad, and absurd in his hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, establishing an unmistakable filmography that foregrounds the plight of the working class while defying simple classification. After the premiere, Buba has produced a number of films, including Betty’s Corner Café (1976), https://vimeo.com/23162435">Washing Walls with Mrs. G. (1980), Mill Hunk Herald (1981), Fade Out (1998) and https://vimeo.com/43230556">Ode to a Steeltown (2007).
The Double Exposure Series, part of Carnegie Museum of Art's Time-Based Media Project, presents contemporary perspectives on pioneers of the past. The series features artists, preservationists, curators, and scholars discussing the legacy of avant-garde film and video of the 1960s–1980s, including works in CMOA's permanent collection and beyond. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Time-Based Media Project is a multifaceted initiative focused on stewarding the museum’s film, video, audio, and computer-based artworks into the future, as well as catalyzing research and discussion in the field.
