Filmmaker CAROLINE AVERY in person
Caroline Avery uses every separate frame as her canvas, cutting, scratching, re-photographing and gluing them into vibrant images filled with energy. Avery has developed a style uniquely suited to her view of the world as a series of confrontations with a society gone out of control. Her work has an edgy tension and rough-hewn look that nonetheless retains the transparent qualities of light and color which only film can provide. Her first one-person show at the Cinematheque includes the only Bay Area screening of two new films, Dancer for the Coronation and The Living Rock, along with an overview of her earlier work.
