Step into the past through the visionary lens of Bill Morrison, Academy Award Nominee and one of cinema’s most innovative artists. This special program presents four of his mesmerizing short films—Release, Who By Water, Buried News, and Incident—each crafted from rare and sometimes deteriorating archival footage.

Morrison masterfully recontextualizes historical events, uncovering hidden narratives while breathing new life into forgotten moments. Through striking imagery and evocative soundscapes, his films transform decayed film reels into meditative explorations of time, memory, and the fragility of recorded history.
