Ross Lipman presents Tom Chomont
As part of the 72nd International Short Film Festival Oberhausen
In the 1970s and 1980s, Tom Chomont was part of the New York underground scene. Between 1962 and 1989, Chomont, who died prematurely, made around 40 short films: experiments in which he combined colour positives and black and white negatives, which gave them an unmistakable aura – lyrical, erotic, mystical. They are psycho-sexual self-examinations in whose restoration Ross Lipman played a key role. He will present a selection of these films on 16mm.
