“8. Marathon
Director: Aaron Valdez
City, State: Austin, TX
Length: 3 min.
2000, experimental Marathon documents a small West Texas town, where the director’s great grandfather lived in a one-room shack while working on the railroad. The film uses B&W Super-8 to document the town and many of its old building facades before its homogeneous “revitalization.“

2003 Program

Marathon can be seen here

I love it when I search things, and run into a fellow crew member.  Valdez showed this film in Rural Route in 2003.
