The 13th edition of the New York Film Festival’s essential
experimental film showcase features eleven programs consisting of 61
works, of which 16 are World Premieres and with 21 of this year's
artists being shown in Views for the first time along with new works
by Farocki, Weerasethakul, Jacobs, Snow, Thornton and Gehr. The
programs kick off with La Rabbia di Pasolini, a reconstruction of
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1963 found-footage essay film Le Rabbia (Rage),
and includes new films and videos by Phil Solomon, Peggy Ahwesh,
Lewis Klahr, Michael Robinson, Deborah Stratman, and Lynne Sachs,
David Gatten, Laida Lertxundi, Amie Siegel, and many others. There
will be a special tribute to the late Chick Strand, and a closing
weekend , three-projector performance by Bruce McClure. Views will
also feature two significant and surprising rediscoveries –
Vibration (1974) by Jack Bond and the unsung Jane Arden (recently
named in the list of Sight and Sound magazine’s “ 50 of Movie’s
Maddest Visionaries” and the premiere screening of the just restored
Untitled (1947), a 16mm experimental psychodrama shot and edited by
Norman Mailer.
