[Frameworks] Jon Behrens program at Experiments in Cinema

[Interbay Cinema Society]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

If you are in or around Albuquerque for the Experiments in Cinema festival
this year, or happen to know someone who is, we'll be screening a selection
of Jon Behren's films Friday, April 26th at noon at the Guild Theater.
This program has been curated by *Kornelia Boczkowska* and is the first of
a planned series of touring programs tailored to the time available and
highlighting many of Jon's unseen film gems.  I've attached the entire
festival schedule.  Jon's program is Experiment 14.  We'd appreciate your
spreading the work.  Thank you!

Experiment 14 (Noon–1:30pm)
Analog Dreaming: Jon Behrens Revisited
This program celebrates the vast legacy of a Seattle-based and one of the
Northwest’s most prolific filmmakers and composers Jon Behrens
(1964-2022),showcasing
his unique experiments with image, sound and celluloid. From silent studies
in light, color and water and cinematic abstractions to landscapes,
cityscapes, NASA images and Hollywood movies, the program demonstrates a
remarkable diversity of Behrens’ films, which are both simple and complex,
lyrical and psychedelic as well as meditative and visually challenging.
Since the late 1970s, Behrens made well over 100 films using different
formats, styles and approaches, ranging from short documentaries,
narratives and diaries to found footage, hand painted and optically printed
films. Behrens’ work is a living proof of his genuine love and passion for
experimental film, his lifelong mission of supporting analog filmmakers and
his numerous contributions to the filmmak-
ing community through the Interbay Cinema Society, the Lightpress Grants
program, Engauge Experimental Film Festival and other initiatives. The
program features a selection of Behrens’ films and the world premiere of
two of his unreleased films.
