To All, The Film-Makers’ Cooperative has invited me to screen my water themed films in a program entitled ANN DEBORAH LEVY: ILLUSIONS, this Friday. The program includes my 52 minute experimental documentary WATERSCAPE: illusions, last screened in New York City in 2010. I will be attending and participating in a Q & A moderated by Matt McKinzie.
Friday, November 14th @ 7:00pm The Film-Makers’ Cooperative 475 Park Avenue South / 6th floor (between 31st & 32nd Streets) New York City Reservations are strongly recommended: https://filmmakerscoop.ecwid.com/Ann-Deborah-Levy-Illusions-p792157855 WATERSCAPE: illusions, original format 16mm film, 52 minutes, an experimental documentary set on a mysterious wilderness lake, seemingly only about filming swans and swan mythology, is a meditation on illusion and reality and filmmaking as myth-making. It will be preceded by WATERCOLORS, original format 16mm film, silent, 13 minutes, shot on the same location, which zeroes in on the reflections on the surface of the water, engaging light, color, texture and rhythm, revealing and distorting images of the surrounding location. My later digital films, RAIN PAINTING, 6 minutes, and WATER FALLS, New York City, 12 minutes, will follow. They continue my explorations of images transformed by water and complete an unplanned trilogy. RAIN PAINTING shows rain striking car windows and “painting” the landscape beyond, in a variety of moods and colors, establishing three realities: the landscape viewed through the window, rain patterns on the window surface, and the space inside the car. WATER FALLS, New York City shows water falling, flying, and flowing from New York City fountains that echoes the energy of the City. Circling back, again and again, to one West Village fountain, the camera catches glimpses of neighborhood life through the prism of the water — a painterly city symphony, augmented by sounds of people, traffic, and the constantly falling water. Program running time: 83 minutes + discussion and Q & A. For more information on my work, please visit: www.resonantimages.com Hope to see you there! ANN
