A Tribute to Sidney Peterson
Filmmaker Sidney Peterson in person
“The anamorphic landscape of The Lead Shoes, the paradoxically framed The Petrified Dog, and the acoustic envelope of Man in a Bubble are all facets of Sidney Peterson’s lifelong representation of the joke of Being in the twentieth century. His films swell to their seams with a contemporary surrealist vision of love, sex, art and urban life. Peterson’s career spans modernity.” (Marjorie Keller)
