Between Two Cinemas (Dir. Ross Lipman, 2018)

Time: 8:00pm
Location: Downtown Independent
Address: 251 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA. 90012

U.S premiere!

Panel discussion about the unique relationship between experimental and arthouse cinema to follow the screening, featuring Lipman, director Charles Burnett (pending availability), filmmaker Lewis Klahr, actress Lis Black, filmmaker Janie Geiser, filmmaker Pia Borg, and composer Patrick Gleeson.

Over thirty years in the making, this unique autobiography looks back at filmmaker/archivist Ross Lipmans winding path through a gaping no-mans land between international art cinema and the American avant-garde. Including restorations of his old films plus a new documentary/essay linking them, it uncovers previously unseen archival material on Stan Brakhage and Andrei Tarkovsky, and adds new collaborations with artists including visionary experimentalist Bruce Baillie, Jeanne Dielman cinematographer Babette Mangolte, Bela Tarr composer Mihaly Vig and synthesizer pioneer Patrick Gleeson. Between Two Cinemas is an enthralling exploration of discord and resonance between two divergent cultures, and the worlds from which they emerge.
