Jay Rosenblatt is a master practitioner of found footage filmmaking. Working since the 1980s, Rosenblatt’s films uniquely deal with the human condition – incorporating the passage of time, birth and childhood, the experience of personal, family and community space, religious faith and tyranny, mortality and death, and the function of memory in evoking emotional states. Rosenblatt’s films are psychologically gripping, often bringing the spectator to the darker places of the human experience, including fear and anxiety, loss, grief, and mourning.

“Jay Rosenblatt makes short, pointed, poetic films, and to see a collection of his work is to know he's a major artist. His specialness has no single source. He's a master at matching music and image, and the nature of his work, which usually involves discovering and using found footage, requires profound patience. Yet mostly, I suspect, what makes almost every Jay Rosenblatt film a full emotional experience is his empathy, his deep, unfeigned and unmistakable respect for life in its many forms.” - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.
