Visual Music, this program includes
Caravan, Séance, Allures, Re-
Entry, Samadhi?, Momentum,

of the Spheres, and Epilogue.
Jordan Belson was a pioneer
of abstract filmmaking who
fused his interests in physics,
astronomy, psychology,
Buddhism, and other spiritual
belief systems into more
than 30 films that step
past questions of meaning
and interpretation into
direct visceral and spiritual
engagements with viewers. This
program features rarely screened
films and new preservation prints
- a distillation of sixty years of
visionary images synchronized to a
symphonic tone poem by Rachmaninoff,
and more. (16mm and DigiBeta. 75 min. Not
rated.) Program was co-curated by Jordan Belson
and Cindy Keefer. Image from Allures (c) Jordan

Art is...The Permanent Revolution
(2012) Directed by Manfred Kirchheimer
Friday - December 7 - 6:30 p.m.
Director Manfred Kirchheimer ardently
investigates the relationship between art
and politics by meditating on the work of
printmakers from the past and present.
Kirchheimer goes into the studios of four
contemporary artists to document their methods
and discuss their artistic and philosophical
inspiration. Examining the etchings of Sigmund
Abeles, the lithographs of Ann Chernow,
the woodcuts by Paul Marcus and prints by
James Reed, Kirchheimer examines the ways
contemporary printmakers are inspired by
present-day politics and the historical legacy
of socially important works from artists of the
past. (Digital. 82 min. Not rated.)
