Calling all romantics, stoners, and formalists! We’re showing a split program dedicated to Dorsky and Hiler, two legends of avant-garde cinema known for their meticulously constructed works of abstract beauty. As partners for more than six decades, they have exerted a profound influence on one another, and so it’s no surprise that they share a number of artistic sensibilities (“polyvalent” theories of montage; sensitivity to the effects of changing seasons; a reverential approach wherein “film itself” might take on “the spirit or experience of religion”).
