Exquisite Fragments

New by Henry Hills

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts





A luminary of San Francisco’s earlier experimental film world, Henry Hills has been living in New York City since 1978 where his work as a filmmaker and Executive Director of the Segue Foundation put him at the forefront of Manhattan’s art community. Frequently working with composer John Zorn, dancer Sally Silvers and other artists, Hills explodes cinema into brilliant microscopic shards, showering the viewer with exquisite fragments of sonic and visual hyperspace. Films include Heretic (1994), Little Lieutenant (1993), Gotham (1990), Bali Mécanique (1993), and others. – Note by Albert Kilchesty
