The aim of Nathaniel Dorsky's polyvalent montage is to make the film bloom in a perpetual present, opening up the heart of the viewer to the free unfolding of the images moment by moment, according to their own dramatic need and poetic intensity, detached from any narrative or descriptive development. This session will present his two "Devotional Songs" (Threnody, dedicated to the memory of Stan Brakhage, and The Visitation) and the last of his cinematic songs, Love's Refrain.
Love's Refrain, Nathaniel Dorsky, United States, 2000-2001, 16 mm, no sound, 22'.
Threnody, Nathaniel Dorsky, United States, 2003-2004, 16 mm, no sound, 20'.
The Visitation, Nathaniel Dorsky, United States, 2002, 16 mm, no sound, 18'.
