“The films of Nathaniel Dorsky blend a beauteous celebration of the sensual world with a deep sense of introspection and solitude. They are occasions for reflection and meditation, on light, landscape, time and the motions of consciousness. Their luminous photography emphasizes the elemental frisson between solidity and luminosity, between spirit and matter, while his uniquely developed montage permits a fluid and flowing experience of time. Dorsky's films reveal the mystery behind everyday existence, providing intimations of eternity.” (Steve Polta, San Francisco Cinematheque)

This event is also a fantastic opportunity to discover the beautiful world of The Cinema Museum, which houses one of the richest collections of cinema memorabilia from the earliest days to the present.
