A few years ago, Preiss had the rare chance to salvage a selection of 8mm reels from his archive; 30 years after it was first shot, this lovingly refashioned material returns as both a luminescent ode to the friends, filmmakers, and artists with whom Preiss lived and worked during that time, and a considered meditation on the evolution of diaristic filmmaking.

“[This video was made while] both Guagnini and Preiss were undergoing and studying Reichian therapy; developed by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, this form of therapy is used to attenuate tension (and therefore, trauma) through very quick breath and eye movements. Preiss’s sharp editing is key in embodying Reichian techniques through film, while much of the repressed trauma informing Guagnini’s performance references a history of the dictatorship in his native Argentina in the 1970s and 80s.” –MISHKIN GALLERY

Documental sobre la vida del trompetista y cantante estadounidense de jazz Chet Baker dirigido por el famoso fotógrafo Bruce Weber. Chet Baker fue una de las figuras más destacadas del mundo de la música del siglo XX. "Let´s get lost" surge de la enorme fascinación de Weber por este genio del jazz. Inicialmente la idea era hacer una serie de fotos del músico, pero tras la relación surgida entre ambos, el director terminó haciendo una película de más de dos horas de duración sobre la figura de Baker, el jazz y dos de sus grandes pasiones: los coches y las mujeres. En 1989, la película fue nominada al Oscar al Mejor Documental, y se alzó con el Premio de la Crítica en el Festival de Venecia poco después del aparente suicidio del protagonista en un hotel en Amsterdam.
