Saul Levine does not stop. He is an uncompromising and relentless film-maker whose work reflects his experimental verve. As far back as the '60s, he has shown that film is a material object––and thus, it can be twisted, warped, chopped, and stretched to produce immersive and challenging cinematic experiences. On April 4, we are pleased to host Levine––alongside a troupe of filmmakers and thinkers close to him––for a night honoring his legacy.
In addition to the impressive body of work that Levine has assembled over the decades, he has also imparted a love and understanding of experimental filmmaking to a new generation of filmmakers through his teachings at The Massachusetts School of Arts and Design (MassArt); among them, Annalisa D. Quagliata Blanco. Her work championing his films, alongside Byron Davies and Lumia Lightsmith, led to the presentation of Saul Levine Retrospective that toured Mexico last year. Tonight, we present an abridged version of said retrospective, with Levine in person to discuss his work.
