A retrospective of eight years
experimental films by Richard Kerr, who teaches in Concordias Mel
Hoppenheim School of Cinema, are being shown at the Cinématique
québécoise.
Kerrs work is in the tradition of tradition-breaking filmmakers
Michael Snow, Bruce Elder and Joyce Wieland. Among the films being shown
are McLuhan, Never Confuse Movement with Action, Human Tragedy on a
Grand Scale, The Last Days of Contrition, Cruel Rhythm, and The
Willing Voyeur.
Kerrs latest film is I Was a Strong Man Until I Left Home: Pictures
of Sound, described as a digitalized sketch of images of light
and landscape that has stronger ties to drawing and sketching than to
cinematography.
The screenings started yesterday and end on Sunday. The Cinémateque
québécoise is at 335 de Maisonneuve Blvd. E. For a schedule,
please call 842-9763 or consult www.cinematheque.qc.ca.
