Jonathan Schwartz made films as he lived his life. His short works are gestures of appreciation and awe towards the world and for those he loved. They are often also dialogs with texts and ideas he found compelling. In all his 16mm films, he gives expression to both the beauties of the concrete and the transience and potency of ineluctable time. A flower, a face, melting ice, a shift in light — Jonathan’s lens holds them with generosity and care, for his and our gaze. Time becomes a palpable preoccupation through his filming of the seasons and their variations, and in his own cinematic processes. These include his physical movements with the camera and the in-camera winding and re-winding of filmstock to embody both his and the world’s fortuitous memory.
