Bruce Elder’s Illuminated Texts
Filmmaker Bruce Elder in person
Since 1975, Canadian filmmaker Bruce Elder has been working on a mammoth film cycle which, when complete, will run about twenty hours, and will attempt to set forth a history of consciousness from the time of Isaac Newton to the present. ‘“Illuminated Texts presents itself as a great debate between nature and technology, unity and dissolution, the divine and the demonic, an irrecoverable past and the terrible velocity of time.” — Bart Testa, CanadianImages. Bruce Elder lives in Toronto where, in addition to making films, he teaches, writes, and organizes film programs.
