NATHANIEL DORSKY

THE SHOW IS NOT SOLD OUT!
PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME TICKETS ARE NOT RELEASED HERE, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE BOX OFFICE DAY OF SHOW.

In October filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky will return to NYC to present a screening and lecture as part of New York Universitys Experimental Lecture Series. In addition to hosting this special event on behalf of NYU, Anthology will take the opportunity to offer a separate screening of brand-new works that will be making their NYC (and, in two cases, world) premieres!

The lecture on Fri, Oct 11 at 7:00 is free and open to the public, so tickets are not available online.

THE DREAMER 2016, 19 min, 16mm, silent
This year our mid-summers night was adorned with a glorious full moon. The weeks and days preceding the solstice were magically alive with crisp, cool breezes, bright, warm sunlight, and a general sense of heartbreaking clarity. THE DREAMER is born out of this most poignant San Francisco spring. Nathaniel Dorsky
World Premiere!
CALYX 2018, 13 min, 16mm, silent
I photographed CALYX during the rather tense 21 days preceding my open-heart surgery to replace an aortic valve and then shipped the footage off to the lab the day before my operation. I edited the 21 rolls about three weeks after coming home from a rather dramatic nine days in the hospital. I hope this little film captures some of the feelings of dread mixed with an elegiac feeling for our world. CALYX is the husk surrounding the tender bud of a soon to be flower. Nathaniel Dorsky
COLOPHON (FOR THE ARBORETUM CYCLE) 2018, 13.5 min, 16mm, silent
COLOPHON has three sections. It is in the spirit of the early Chinese landscape colophons, a text added to the horizontal scroll at a later date from when the landscape itself was enacted. COLOPHON was not made to be shown along with the ARBORETUM CYCLE, but a new thing, a spring later, a different maker, so to speak. Nathaniel Dorsky
World Premiere!
APRICITY 2019, 22 min, 16mm, silent
The title APRICITY refers to the warmth of the sun in winter. It is an homage to the writer Jane (Brakhage) Wodening. In speaking to her I mused, perhaps your age is the winter and you are the warmth of the sun. Nathaniel Dorsky
Total running time: ca. 75 min.

Sat & Sun, Oct 12 & 13 at 7:30 each night.
