Rétrospective Henry Hills 2
For this latest edition of the experimental film symposium, we offer a retrospective of a major American filmmaker (Henry Hills, in attendance), provide updates on current female production, accompany director Christian Lapointe in his first experience with radical cinema, host musician Sam Shalabi, and present two forgotten classics, one of which is a newly restored version that we have just completed.
In the presence of the filmmaker, Henry Hills
A prolific experimental filmmaker, living between New York and Vienna (Austria), Henry Hills won the John Simon Memorial Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009, and his works are held in the permanent collection of the MOMA. Among his best-known films are several collaborations with musician John Zorn and his group Naked City. The two-part program of his works presented at the Symposium XP provides an overview of his work spanning over forty years.
