Center for Visual Music presents two programs at the upcoming Rotterdam International Film Festival
(Jan 25-Feb 5, Netherlands):
(1) Jordan Belson: Epilogue and Other Films - Jan 27 and 29
featuring the European premiere of Belson's new videofilm, Epilogue (2005), plus Allures, Samadhi, Music of the Spheres, Northern Lights and Mysterious Journey Part IV. Epilogue was commissioned by The Hirshhorn Museum (Smithsonian Institution) for the recent US "Visual Music" exhibition. The film was produced by Center for Visual Music, with support from The NASA Art Program. A pure Visual Music experience, Belson has distilled 60 years of visionary sound and images into this 12 minute videofilm, synchronized to a symphonic tone poem "Isle of the Dead Opus 29" by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The New York Times praised Epilogue's "lush and misty optics." Program introduced by Cindy Keefer, Director, CVM.
Program formats: 16mm and digital
