Arboretum Cycle
The Arboretum Cycle is a seven-part film cycle by American experimental filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky. The films—''Elohim'', ''Abaton'', ''Coda'', ''Ode'', ''September'', ''Monody'', and ''Epilogue''—were shot in 2017 at the Strybing Arboretum in San Francisco. Dorsky made the series to capture the interaction between light and plants in the garden. Works ''Elohim'', the first film in the cycle, captures a sense of stillness and is dominated by muted green, yellow, and brown shades. ''Abaton'' shows the garden in late winter, with red and purple colors just beginning to emerge. ''Coda'' and ''Ode'' show spring and summer. Red and purple become most prominent as the flowering plants bloom. ''September'' showcases the deep green of leaves and trees, with some late blooms still remaining. It and ''Monody'', filmed in autumn, feature a large tree in the arboretum. ''Epilogue'' is the final film in the cycle. Because it was shot in winter, it has naturally low light. Production Do ...

Variations (film)
''Variations'' is a 1998 American short silent avant-garde film directed by Nathaniel Dorsky. It is the second film in a set of "Four Cinematic Songs", which also includes ''Triste'', ''Arbor Vitae'', and ''Love's Refrain''. Production Since the 1960s, Dorsky had operated by shooting footage without a specific use in mind and then editing films together from the available shots. For ''Variations'', he began to rely exclusively on newly recorded material. Dorsky worked using a Bolex camera, recording primarily on 16 mm Kodachrome 25 stock. Dorsky's compositions in ''Variations'' are influenced by Early Renaissance painting. He noted the era's early use of perspective before the development of vanishing points. For Dorsky, ''Variations'' marked a progression in his polyvalent editing style. He drew connections between shots based on elements like colors, patterns, or iconography. Dorsky sequenced the shots so that they could link back to earlier shots in the montage, beyond the cu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hours For Jerome
''Hours for Jerome'' (1980–82) is an American silent experimental film in two parts directed by Nathaniel Dorsky recording the daily events of Dorsky and his partner, artist Jerome Hiler, around Lake Owassa in New Jersey and in Manhattan. The two films revolve around the four seasons with Part 1 revolving around spring through summer while part 2 revolves around fall through winter. According to Dorsky, he states that the film "is an arrangement of images, energies, and illuminations from daily life" and a "silent tone poem". In 2012, ''Hours for Jerome'' was included in the annual selection of 25 motion pictures added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and recommended for preservation. Production The footage for the film was shot in the late 1960s but Dorsky did not begin editing it until 1980.

Jerome Hiler
Jerome Hiler (born 1943) is an American experimental filmmaker, painter and stained glass artist. Biography Hiler began his filmmaking career alongside Robert Cowan, as a projectionist at The Filmmaker Cinematheque at 125 West 41st St. in New York City. He was the first projectionist for Andy Warhol's '' The Chelsea Girls,'' and went on to project that film more than 150 times. Hiler creates experimental films. An Artforum review by P. Adams Sitney of his 2011 film, ''Words of Mercury'', described Hiler as part of the "rare company of significant if almost invisible filmmakers of the American avant-garde cinema." Manohla Dargis of ''The New York Times'' wrote that Hiler's "output is limited but stunning." Wheeler Winston Dixon has described his films as works in which “everyday objects, places, things and people are transformed into integers of light, creating a sinuous tapestry of restless imagistic construction”. Since the 1960s, Hiler's partner has been fellow filmmaker ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
