New Jersey-based experimental filmmaker and video artist Gregg Biermann introduces a survey of his works completed over the last decade. Often incorporating footage from Hollywood classics like the Wizard of Oz (1939), Rear Window (1954), and North by Northwest (1959), Biermann’s work takes advantage of the abilities of digital cinema to advance rigorous compositional strategies. Join Biermann for a Q&A session following the screenings, which feature films from Happy Again (2006) to Scenes from the Anthropocene(2017) and New York Gradual (2018).
