  • 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

  • Österreichisches Filmmuseum: Joseph Cornell

    By on

    Utopia Parkway: It is from this fittingly poetic-sounding address in Queens, NY, that the art of Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) emerged. Although he scarcely left New York during his lifetime, Cornell's work was strongly influenced by his interest in the old continent, astronomy and eras long past. Cornell was intrigued with all things distant; but instead of starting to travel he created his own cosmos: "This is a man who would look at the stars and dream about the mechanics of the universe." (Walter Hopps)

  • Joseph Cornell: White Magic Filmmaker

    By on

    Joseph Cornell was a cinephile, film collector, filmmaker and pioneering American assemblage artist. He called his work ‘white magic’ to distinguish it from the darker arts of the surrealists with whom he had a dialogue. From the late 30s onward he reworked Hollywood movies, travelogues and education films to create touching, sophisticated edits and juxtapositions. The first programme includes Rose Hobart which Dali accused Cornell of stealing from his dreams, and the newly rediscovered The Wool Collage. The second programme shows collaborations with other experimental filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage and Larry Jordan. Gnir Rednow and other titles here draw on material shot by Cornell’s collaborators which he then edited and reworked according to his particular aesthetic.

    Commencing in 1920 with Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand’s creative collaboration on Manhatta, successive generations of experimental filmmakers and artists have worked in collaboration or alone to create a cinema capable of expressing dynamic unspoken concepts in totally abstract visual terms.

  • Robert Nelson: On a thread

    By on
    The Great Blondino (Robert Nelson & William T. Wiley, 1967)

    Following the tradition of the west coast American independent filmmakers, Robert Nelson (1930-2012) has created a unique cinema profoundly marked by a corrosive humour and a subtle sense of self-mockery. Directed with his friend, the painter William Wiley, The Great Blondino (1967) pays an astonishing homage to the French tightrope walker Charles Blondin (XIX century) famous for having crossed the Niagara Falls on a wire. At the crossroads of European surrealism and popular American culture, the film of Robert Nelson is an invitation to a reverie with a tint of tragic absurdity. This portrayal of an uncertain universe - on the edge of consciousness and unconsciousness – is sharing with the enigmatic collage film by the American filmmaker Larry Jordan, Hamfat Asar (1965) a powerful poetry loaded with desires and death impulses.

  • The Cinema of Poetry

    Informed by the criticism of iconic filmmaker Pier Pasolini, The Cinema of Poetry offers spirited explorations of poetry's influence on classic films by Dimitri Kirsanoff, Ingmar Bergman, and Andrey Tarkovsky. It also highlights how avant-garde films made by Joseph Cornell, Lawrence Jordan, Jerome Hiler, Gregory Markopoulos, and others found rich, unexpected sources of inspiration in a diverse group of poets that includes Stéphane Mallarmé, Emily Dickinson, H.D., Ezra Pound, Robert Duncan, John Ashbery, and Aeschylus. Written with verve and panache, it represents the culmination of P. Adams Sitney's career-long fascination with the intersection of poetry, film, and the avant-garde.
