  • Beyond Enchantment: The Films of Lawrence Jordan

    By on
    Solar Sight II (Lawrence Jordan, 2012)

    Legendary collage animator Lawrence Jordan presents his most recent film, a tribute to Max Ernst and Luis Buñuel, alongside a selection from his entire career, followed by a live film performance with John Davis.

    “I have always wanted to show the ‘impossible’ in my films, and to astonish the viewer. . . . I often operate on freely associated series of images, finding the trail as I go, not plotting it, though some of the films are meticulously scripted. When I astonish myself, I put it in the film. When I don’t, I leave it out.” - Lawrence Jordan

  • Alternative Visions: Films of Jerome Hiler

    By on
    In the Stone House (Jerome Hiler, 1967-70/2012)

    Jerome Hiler's In the Stone House records and recollects a period of life of four years in rural New Jersey. In the latter 1960s, two young guys with monastic leanings leave the clatter of Manhattan’s art and film scene to catch the wave of higher consciousness that was about to change the world forever to find themselves washed ashore in a place only slightly updated from Way Down East. The monastic retreat quickly turned into the weekend getaway for a host of extravagant Manhattanites seeking films and fun. We learned from hitch-hiking guests that the police referred to our haven as “the stone house.” Although New Shores is a completely independent project, it could also be seen as a continuation of the world of In the Stone House. It affords glimpses of life led over three decades from the 1970s to the 1990s in San Francisco.
