THE LONG & THE SHORT OF IT!  Films by HOLLY FISHER

Program:

ghostdance for a new century (2015) 16min

With music by Ha-Yang Kim...inspired by the Native American dance performed especially in the 1890’s to encourage renewal and prosperity; or from another point of view, to drive out the white man and bring back the buffalo. This work is a meditative landscape set between a eulogy for an unspoken past and a plea for attention to an unmapped future....hf

a question of sunlight (2015) 83min

With music by Lois V Vierk

... a hauntingly strange film about memory ... A unique and striking work. – John Crowley, novelist

– A Question of Sunlight juxtaposes the jarring memories of 9/11 with the haunting trauma of the Holocaust. We see and hear in vivid close-ups the artist José Urbach as he relives the scenes of Nazi invasion.... - Karen Remmler, Mount Holyoke College.
