Through the course of the 1980s, Canadian artist-filmmaker Richard Kerr had gradually moved towards an ‘accelerated cinema,’ an imagistic cinema of movement, montage and aggressive sound design. Kerr’s work in this ‘accelerated cinema’ became increasingly total at the same time that he became invested in the model of the ‘teacher-practitioner,’ collaborating directly with his students and working with simple, accessible tools.
This collection gathers thirteen of Kerr’s films made between 1991 and 2017, chronicling an important phase in his creative evolution. Crisis Collision Resolve serves as a portrait of an artist pushing the limits of the moving image, while pitching a dynamic dialogue between pedagogy, collective action, and personal vision.
