@ Block Museum of Art

Opening Wednesday, March 1st, at 7PM
RSVP|
A key figure in American avant-garde cinema since the 1970s, Larry Gottheim has influenced countless filmmakers, both through his patient, sensuous 16mm films, and through his role in founding the Cinema Department at the State University of New York, Binghamton, one of the country’s first and most prodigious undergraduate programs dedicated to personal and experimental filmmaking. This program features two of Gottheim’s most elemental films: his renowned short FOG LINE, a rapturous 11-minute shot bearing witness to a fog gradually lifting from a bucolic countryside (described by critic Dave Kehr as “one of the most hauntingly beautiful of all avant-garde films”); and HORIZONS, a landscape film whose formal simplicity belies infinitely complex interactions of light, time, nature, and film emulsion. Following the screening, Gottheim will appear in person for a discussion with J.P. Sniadecki, Professor and Director of the MFA in Documentary Media at Northwestern.
