Susan Brockman (1937-2001) was a filmmaker and photographer active in NYC
and East Hampton from the 1960s-90s. As a member of the collective
Women/Artist/Filmmakers, she made several short films on themes of beauty,
desire, and close observation. Sometimes inspired by literary, performance,
or fine arts sources, Brockman’s films conjure deep emotions through her
exquisite photography and skillful editing. In the three films selected for
this screening – DEPOT (1975), HOTHOUSE FLOWER (1978), and LEE’S FERRY
(1983, with Sally Gross) – Brockman explores interior environments of both
physical and mental realms. In Brockman’s vision, imagination and dreaming
are integral parts of the women’s creative process.


Filmed by photographer Peter Moore in 1964, STOCKHAUSEN’S ORIGINALE:
DOUBLETAKES documents a performance composed and scripted by Karlheinz
Stockhausen, directed by Allan Kaprow, and starring Nam June Paik. Moore
filmed two performances held at Judson Hall during Charlotte Moorman’s 2nd
Annual New York Avant Garde Festival but left the footage unedited for 30
years. Having recently edited works by Danny Seymour and Robert Frank,
Brockman offered to complete the film. When Barbara Moore decided to
produce the film in 1994, following her husband’s death, Brockman was
brought on as editor.



The screening will be introduced by Richard Brockman, Susan Brockman’s
brother; Mirra Bank, filmmaker, close friend, and sister-in-law of
Brockman; and curator Chelsea Spengemann.
