Zack Stiglicz: posthumously yours
1990-2005, Zack Stiglicz, USA, ca. 90 min.
Chicago filmmaker Zack Stiglicz passed away this past fall, leaving behind a singular body of work. Richly textured and visually dense, his films and videos weave together meditations on desire, violence, masculinity, and metaphysics; “literally shred[ding] images of dreams, desires, memories, symbols, and myths into a multi-layered, molten, fin-de-siècle statement” (MoMA). This program is an overview of his career and a tribute to his vision. Multiple formats. (Amy Beste)
Please note: Program suitable for audiences 17 and older.
