the Forgotten Film Gallery 2013

The Forgotten Film Gallery was a curated blog documentary and video art installation project which showcased a collection of films from various video and sound artists dealing with interpretation of the forgotten and the indefinite time period during and after the present. The Forgotten Film Gallery also attempted to link the past, present and future using unique areas of the Mojave desert region and the World Wide Web as it’s gallery installation space.

The goal for the Forgotten Film Gallery was to unite the new with the old. Link the past to the future using the remoteness of the desert as the gallery space and the world wide web as a platform to share non commercial video-films.

the FORGOTTEN FILM GALLERY 2012 highlights


tune is called: Shards of Colour
music by Barbara De Dominicis

Bright Source a large for profit energy corporation plans to erect two solar towers at Hidden Hills. Not sure what will become of the Hidden Cathedral or Queho’s grave.


During the 70’s Hidden Hills Ranch near Pahrump, Nevada was an area that attracted over a thousand visitors a month. Hidden Hills Ranch was a non denominational, spiritual place created out of the existing rocks by Roland Wiley. Roland was a prominent attorney who also helped shape Las Vegas. We came back a few weeks ago. Thinking maybe we can show some of the films here. Finding more to the story about Hidden Hills Ranch and the surrounding area.

the demand is the electronics must work together with the borrowed 2000 watt Honda gas generator. Power is crucial to the Forgotten Film Gallery. No power in the lonely desert or is there? Wish we could plug the TV’s into to the sun. Maybe a small catheter plugged to one of the rays would work. lol. For now a tight collar of gas with hopefully a long enough leash must hide behind a hill or my selfish dream will not work. Stay tuned.

Was the perfect time to take a drive from Vegas and share films with the lonely desert. Upon arrival to the gallery we learned serendipity can change.


After learning our intended gallery had been burned down and my camera mic had other plans for sound, the decision was still to watch these films. A video montage honoring the following works inside the last remaining dwelling with a roof at Hidden Hills:
