The Cinematheque proudly invites everyone to share this special evening celebrating the work of Bruce Conner, one of America’s master filmmakers and artists, including the premiere of Television Assassination(1995). A pivotal artist of the last four decades, Conner’s work ranges from assemblage, photography, and drawing to a body of films for which he was recognized with a Maya Deren Lifetime Achievement Award from the AFI in 1988. This November Conner not only has 2 one-person shows in New York but is also included in a major exhibition at the Whitney Museum, Beat Culture and the New America. Conner’s pioneering use of found footage has inspired countless filmmakers since A Movie was released in 1958, and tonight’s program includes that seminal work, Take The 5:10 To Dreamland, Report, America Is Waiting, The White Rose, Cosmic Ray, and Valse Triste.
