Description
The films of Daniel Barnett are among the most complex (and least understood) works in all of cinema. Taking Peter Kubelka’s aesthetics of shot-to-shot/frame-to-frame collision and articulation to elegant extremes, works such as 1975’s “White Heart” and 1987-90’s “Endless” embody profound expressions of visual language that remain regretfully outside the genre’s assimilated canon. With the publication of his “Movement as Meaning: In Experimental Film”, Barnett articulates in words the aesthetic that has long been at the heart of his filmmaking practice, discussing the relationships between narrative language, image making and the relationships of motion and sequence to thought while pondering the possibility of “thinking without words.” Following a brief introduction by Barnett on these topics, he will screen four works by Stan Brakhage, A. Keewatin Dewdney, Saul Levine, and one of Barnett’s own which are discussed in the book and central to his theses.More Info
