Cinematheque’s seasonal program showcasing work recently received by Canyon Cinema, local distributor of alternative and experimental cinema, kicks off this Winter season. Saul Levine’s Light Lick (Az Sent): Only Sunshine consists of rhythmically pulsing abstract frames. Michael Rosas-Walsh’s Lake Orion builds glistening black and white dreams from multiple exposed vacation footage. Shiho Kano’s Rocking Chair ominously describes the loneliness of an empty room. Mary Beth Reed’s multi-layered Moon Streams ventures deep into peeling layers of paint, emulsion, and fragmented imagery. The program is rounded out by the new-to-Canyon “re-release” of Michael Snow’s 1964 New York Eye and Ear Control, “starring” The Walking Woman and featuring a soundtrack by Albert Ayler. (Steve Polta)
