This program gathers some of experimental cinema's most respected names: Armenian master Artavazd Pelechian, structural-film veteran Morgan Fisher, British artist James Richards and Austrian filmmaker Johann Lurf. The films probe what images show and hide, in a compact block that fits a lot of vision into one sitting. If you follow artist film or want to see where cinema is heading, catch it.
What to expect
A single festival screening of four short works back to back in a Lincoln Center cinema. The pieces are experimental and non-narrative, and the audience is serious about film.
