White Light Cinema is pleased to present the second program (we must like him!) of work by acclaimed experimental filmmaker Luther Price this year – this time with Price in person, to introduce and discuss his work.
For more than twenty-five years, Boston-area filmmaker has been creating a raw and visceral body of work that challenges, infuriates, shocks, fascinates, and, sometimes, soothes viewers who have think they’ve seen it all.
His is a gritty cinema: initially made in the intimate Super-8 format and now mostly in 16mm. It is a handcrafted cinema, with dozens of splices (which seem to want to fly apart at any moment), decayed and distressed footage (buried in the ground), and hand-painted frames (which shed a fine dust when projected).
