First Cousin Once Removed (Alan Berliner United States, 2013) with Les Blank Lecture!
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Preceded by:
EVERYWHERE AT ONCE (Alan Berliner, US, 1985).
A musical montage.
(10 mins, Color/B&W, 16mm, From MoMA Circulating Film)
A masterful editor, Alan Berliner draws on his extensive library of images, sounds, and ephemera for films that focus on his family as a means to excavate the past and explore memory. As our first Les Blank Lecturer, Berliner will discuss his creative process before screening an early short and his most recent film, a portrait of his cousin and mentor, Edwin Honig. A renowned poet and translator, Honig suffered from Alzheimer’s disease but remained a poet to the end, playing with words and rhythm in his conversations, even as he lost command of language.
Part of the Documentary Voices 2016 series at the BAM/PFA.
Free gallery admission with same-day film ticket!
