Film Screening:

18 at 18: Nathaniel Dorsky at Duke (Program 2)

-- Filmmaker in attendance

The Duke University Master of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Arts program welcomes visiting artist Nathaniel Dorsky to Duke and Durham in the spring semester of 2018 for four nights of films, February 2-5. The program, entitled 18 at 18, features 18 films from the filmmaker, screened at silent speed, 18 frames per second.

Films to be screened:

Song
(Nathaniel Dorsky, 2013, 18 min, USA, Silent, Color, 16mm)
Song was photographed in San Francisco from early October through the winter solstice in late December, 2012.

Sarabande
(Nathaniel Dorsky, 2008, 15 min, USA, Silent, Color, 16mm)
Dark and stately is the warm, graceful tenderness of the Sarabande.

August and After
(Nathaniel Dorsky, 2012, 18.5 min, USA, Silent, Color, 16mm)
After a lifetime, two mutual friends, George Kuchar and Carla Liss, passed away during the same period of time.

Avraham
(Nathaniel Dorsky, 2014, 20 min, USA, Silent, Color, 16mm)
In most of my films I have had the burden of adding a title afterwards. Sometimes the word or words would come automatically, but more often with great difficulty. In the case of Avraham, the title came first. It was not only the film’s inspiration but the very thing that determined every shot and every cut.

Sponsors: the Duke University MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts, the Vice Provost for the Arts, the Program in the Arts of the Moving Image (AMI), and the Center for Documentary Studies.

Free tickets available here.
