JAMES BROUGHTON PROGRAM
THE POTTED PSALM (1946, 18.5 minutes, 16mm. Co-directed by Sidney
Peterson.) The sole link between shots in Broughton's collaboration with
Sidney Peterson is the presence of a man who appears perpetually
flabbergasted... "These images are meant to play not on our rational
senses, but on the infinite universe of ambiguity within us." –Sidney
Peterson THE PLEASURE GARDEN (1953, 38 minutes, 35mm) "In Chaplin, in
René Clair, Buster Keaton, and Jacques Tati, we enjoy on a big scale the
fruits of the poetic turned comic. Broughton is of their kind, except
that he holds more strongly to feeling, makes short cuts they dare not,
and sees and sings out of himself – never diluting a joke or a movement.
THE PLEASURE GARDEN thus combines the pleasure of the Keystone with the
love lyric. It springs like the lark, and mingles oddity, grace, satire,
and laughter without a dead moment." –SIGHT AND SOUND THIS IS IT (1971,
10 minutes, 16mm) "James Broughton's creation myth, THIS IS IT, places a
2-year-old Adam and a bright apple-red balloon in a backyard garden of
Eden, and works a small miracle of the ordinary. And since that miracle
is what the film is about, he achieves a kind of casual perfection in
matching means and ends." –Roger Greenspun, NEW YORK TIMES

THREE SHORTS BY NATHANIEL DORSKY
In these intimate and deeply affecting works by veteran avant-garde
artist Dorsky, the subtle, rhythmic shift of light, shadow, and color,
the discerning "polyvalent" montage, and the delicate framing of
exquisite images create a meditative sanctuary. Progressing from an
expression of inner landscapes toward a somewhat lighter representation
of the external world, these "silent songs" refine the everyday into
luminous images. Song and Solitude. 2006. USA. Directed by Nathaniel
Dorsky. 21 min. Threnody. 2003&ndash04. USA. Directed by Nathaniel
Dorsky. 20 min. The Visitation. 2002. USA. Directed by Nathaniel Dorsky.
