Anyone bought it ?  it is truly awe-inspiring, and several of the experimental shorts contain Zorn's music, particularly those which were screened during the "Essential Cinema" series tour throughout 2008 (or were planned) : Aleph (Wallace Berman), By Night with torch and spear (Joseph Cornell), Go! Go! Go! (Marie Menken), Interwoven (Harry Smith). more information : www.filmpreservation.org/ |

Talking of avant-garde films and Zorn's music, this message on the zorn-list: I found a couple great experimental films by Henry Hills on ubuweb.com. Here's the link...www.ubuweb.com/film/roulette_hills_2000.html In the first one, "Money," there are snippets of Zorn and other downtown artists. The second film, "Little Lieutenant" is scored by Zorn and is pretty awsome. |

Yep, and be sure to check out the dvd release of Henry Hills films on tzadik in june which will include the shorts cited above. Truly worth seeing !
Henry Hills: Selected Films 1977-2008 [#3009]
Moving to New York in 1978, filmmaker Henry Hills formed a strong alliance with the Downtown improvisers and the “Language” poets, guiding his film work toward a rhythmic, multilayered world filled with unpredictable changes and a striking improvisational edge. The very best of his short, intense films are presented here—from the downtown all-star Money to structural dance films like The Little Lieutenant and Bali Méchanique. A major force in new cinema, these films are brilliantly visual, crammed with image and double meaning. Also included is his 1990 music video for the band Naked Cty, Gotham.
