"The coolest film organization in the world." —John Waters
Join us at The Film-Makers' Cooperative (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor) on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th, at 7pm, for a program of films by longtime FMC member Holly Fisher, curated by Giovanni Santia and introduced by Emma Claire Foley.
Holly Fisher’s career as a filmmaker has spanned nearly six decades. These films, made between 1977-1987, build on the baseline of disciplined observation, complex overheard sound, and experiments with structured self-revelation of the filmmaker at work that characterized her earliest films. Through increasingly complex experiments with editing and sound collage, Fisher creates visceral, layered documents of perception.
“Whatever is my sleight of hand, my intent is to lead the viewer toward one’s own private insight, metaphor or other deepest reverie.” -Holly Fisher
"Film to be felt in the flesh & in the bones -- in the spine and on the bottoms of the feet!" -Pat O'Neill
PROGRAM:
Ghost Dance Wildwest Suite, Part III (23 min)
