[Frameworks] The Films of Bruce Checefsky

[Marcin Gizycki]

Bruce,

Do you remember who's made a film that consists of a continuous dissolve 
from black screen to white or vice versa? I think it is a fluxfilm but I am 
not sure.

By the way, I learned today that my 'FFF1' got the Best Experimental Short 
Award at IFS--Independent Filmmakers Showcase.

Best,

Marcin

The Films of Bruce Checefsky
Cleveland Cinematheque
Thursday, April 3, 6:45pm

Bruce Checefsky is a photographer and Director of the Reinberger Galleries 
at the Cleveland Institute of Art. For the past 13 years he has also 
moonlighted as a maker of short, independent films that have shown widely 
around the world—from MoMA and the Anthology Film Archives to the Tate 
Modern and the Rotterdam Film Festival. Checefsky has carved out a unique 
niche for himself by reimagining and making abstract and avant-garde Eastern 
European shorts from the 1920s to the 1940s that were either lost, 
destroyed, or conceived/scripted but never filmed. Checefsky’s completion of 
a new movie, Witch’s Cradle (2014), affords us an opportunity to show all 
eight of his visually dazzling short films in one comprehensive program. 
Witch’s Cradle reimagines an unfinished, now lost 1943 short by pioneering 
experimental filmmaker Maya Deren (Meshes of the Afternoon). Deren shot her 
film with Marcel Duchamp in Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of This Century Gallery 
in New York; it was intended to be an exploration of the magical qualities 
of objects in the space. Checefsky’s Cleveland-made remake stars CIA alum 
Margaret Stamm. Also showing: Pharmacy (2001), A Woman and Circles (2003), 
IN NI (Others) (2005), Moment Musical (2006), Béla (2010), et al. Bruce 
Checefsky will answer audience questions after the screening. Cleveland 
Cinematheque, 11141 East Boulevard, Cleveland, OH 44106
