Michael Snow Remebered in Retrospective at Anthology Film Archives
/Experimental cinema – and indeed, 20th and 21st-century art and culture as a whole – lost one of its indisputable giants in January, with the passing of the incomparable Michael Snow. It’s no exaggeration to say that Snow’s body of moving-image work represents one of the great achievements in the history of the art form – films such as WAVELENGTH, <---> (BACK AND FORTH), and LA RÉGION CENTRALE, his “camera movement” trilogy, each being shown during this short retrospective, are among the seminal works of experimental cinema.
