Film Screening:"Time of the Heathen"
(Peter Kass, 1961, 76 min, USA, English, DCP)
New 4K Restoration!
A “lost” marvel of independent filmmaking, "Time of the Heathen" is set in the immediate shadow of the atomic bomb, yet narrativized through the groundbreaking aesthetics and shifting racial politics of the 1960s. Directed by Peter Kass, best known for his path breaking work in the New York theater world, and strikingly lensed by visual artist and avant garde filmmaker Ed Emshwiller, "Heathen" is a major discovery for even the most well-versed cinephiles.
“[A] harrowing acid bummer of American foreign policy atrocities.” - Screen Slate
“You dig it or you don’t dig it. And one of the toughest critics I know said it hit him in the stomach like a ton of dynamite.” - Jonas Mekas
