X SNOW –
One Second in Montreal
(1965,
25 min.) and
Wavelength
(1969, 45 min.)
7:30 pm, The Firehouse Theatre
Admission $5
Canadian filmmaker Michael Snow emerged in the 1960s avant-garde with
fellow structuralists Hollis Frampton, Paul Sharits and Andy Warhol.
Insisting that the medium remain true to its form, Snow’s films
challenge audience expectations of character and causality, time and
space. In Wavelength, the camera zooms slowly (45 minutes
and 80 feet!) across the floor of a NY loft finally into a photograph
on the far wall. Snow gives us a little drama though—a broken
window, an off-camera siren, a body, some Beatles on the radio. One
Second in Montreal (1965, 25 min.) will precede his 1969 underground
classic, Wavelength. |
