Making Images Move reveals a new history of cinema by uncovering its connections to other media and art forms.

Essential texts on the work of the influential artist Michael Snow: essays and interviews spanning more than four decades. Edited by Annette Michelson and Kenneth White.

—Tony Conrad, “Dolomite: Having No Trust in Readers”

In Azul Profundo Sebastian Wiedemann plunges into the transorganic space of Blue, a cinematic state of complete communion with the depths of Nature’s cosmological memory. Blue as guideline into a cinema of receptive profusion and total connection with one's intrinsic sensorial capacities. Deep Blue as cinematic wild experience and experiment of thinking, as a radical adventure into the potential of an unexpected speculative scenario where the verb to blue gains uncountable affective tonalities.

-Otie Wheeler, MUBI Notebook

-Dan Browne, San Francisco Cinematheque
