Views from the Avant-Garde 2010

Another bittersweet announcement, this time out of New York, where the line-up for the fourteenth annual Views From the Avant-Garde, as programmed by Mark McElhatten and Gavin Smith, was revealed.  As has come to be expected there is a mouth-watering mix of established masters and those a little bit further under the radar, leaving little doubt as to the revelatory nature of the weekend.  More descriptions/pictures to come as the details of the program are fleshed out...

The list is as follows:

Curated by Mark McElhatten and Gavin Smith. For its 14th year, Views offers an expanded edition, presenting four nights of New York and world premieres from the frontiers of innovative moving image making. Highlights include Robert Beavers’s The Suppliant, James Benning’s Ruhr, Nathaniel Dorsky’s Pastourelle, a restoration of Manoel de Oliveira’s Rite of Spring, and Phil Solomon’s three-screen American Falls. Also expect new work by Thom Andersen, Ute Aurand, Stephanie Barber, Mati Diop, David Gatten, Janie Geiser, Lewis Klahr, Dani Leventhal, Jeanne Liotta, Matt McCormick, Tomonari Nishikawa, Michael Robinson, Fern Silva, Deborah Stratman, Peter Tscherkassky and many others, plus nightly special Furman Gallery projection performances by Paul Clipson and Bruce McClure.

For some reason I can't get the link to pull up, but yeah I've been told about it. It is going to be on Oct. 4, 6 and 8th. If only*...

*(as a consolation though the film study center will have his films)

Is that site run by Dorsky himself?

Jacob Waltman said...

No it's not, it is maintained by a close friend of his...
