In Recognition of the Upcoming Nathaniel Dorsky/Jerome Hiler Retrospective at MoMA, GME Highlights On Our Website Scenes of the Duo from Warren Sonbert's Films
/This week, The Museum of Modern Art will mount the series Illuminated Hours: The Cinema of Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerome Hiler, which coincides with the American release of the book of the same name, edited by Francisco Algarín Navarro and GME associate Carlos Saldaña. Later, from May 17th to May 19th, Anthology Film Archives will host the series Illuminated Hours: Three Evenings with Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerome Hiler, also in conjunction with Navarro and Saldaña’s book. Dorsky and Hiler were close friends and filmmaking colleagues of Warren Sonbert from the mid-1960s onward. All three helped pioneer the editing style known as “polyvalent montage.” The following video compiles Dorsky and Hiler’s appearances in Sonbert’s films THE TENTH LEGION (1967), HOLIDAY (1968), and NOBLESSE OBLIGE (1981) soundtracked by Frank Sinatra’s “Young at Heart,” which Sonbert features in THE TENTH LEGION. Since 1995, GME President Jon Gartenberg has worked to further Sonbert’s legacy through a comprehensive program of preservation, distribution, programming, and publishing.
