Filmmaker Larry Gottheim In Person

From his late-sixties series of sublime "single-shot" films to the
dense sound/image constructs of the mid-seventies and after, the
cinema of Larry Gottheim is the cinema of presence, of observation,
and of deep conscious engagement. While addressing genres of
landscape, diary and assemblage filmmaking, Gottheim's work properly
stands alone in its intensive investigations of the paradoxes between
direct, sensual experience in collision with complex structures of
repetition, anticipation and memory. Tonight's program includes new
prints of Blues, Doorway, and Tree of Knowledge (from the four-part
series, Elective Affinities) plus Your Television Traveler and The
Opening, part of the in-progress Chants & Dances for Hand, based on
material shot in Haiti.
