Filmes

Ecstatic Vessels
Director
Blaze in the trees Blaze on the brow. Incidents, spontaneity and presence circle wildly in the natural world. In the deep woods the elements nod and sweep and seem to signal to each other. Incidents occur. Spontaneity. Foreground and background. Shifting perspectives. A vast scattered array pulls together and with it ideas of trees, wind, sun, and relationships.
Wot the Ancient Sod
Director
Effects of the sun move through the turning autumn leaves - the drama of ceaseless interactions of light and life. Forces are in transition, decaying into the earth, the ground, the sod.
The Penfield Road
Director
A fable concerning the landscape and the romanticism of travel—featuring Starved Rock State Park and other familiar American scenes depicted in vintage postcards—that also reveals the price we pay for the open road.
Roots, Thorns
Director
Filmed on a return visit to the Asháninka in the tropical forest of eastern Peru. Moving in close to people who still live with the land, cook over fires and raise their children in the forest. Earth, river, animals, weather. Forces of turmoil and of nature. Forces that surround the senses at all times.
Symphony for a Sinner
Assistant Director
Symphony for a Sinner (1979) was a long, lavishly photographed color film generally considered the magnum opus of the class productions.
