The 2014-15 season of the Schnitzer Cinema, curated by Cinema Pacific director Richard Herskowitz, is devoted to American experimental media, with a special emphasis on the history of American avant-garde film.
Walden was Mekas' first diary film, and it was edited as a collection of images gathered between the years 1964 and 1969. Its original title was Diaries, Notes, and Sketches. The sketches in Walden refer to various films that, edited previously, were later included in Walden: Report from Millbrook (1965/1966), Hare Krishna (1966), Notes on the Circus (1966), and more. Scott MacDonald, the leading chronicler of avant-garde filmmakers, is the author of the five volumes of the Critical Cinema series (UC Press) and of several other books on avant-garde film.
Schnitzer Cinema screenings are free and include free popcorn and soda and are brought to you in partnership with Cinema Pacific and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
Join us for the final program in the series:
