Winter Film Series: Middle of the Moment

Thursday, January 31, 7PM

Created between 1991 and 1995, this cine-poem by Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzel criss-crosses from Niger to France, Greece and the Czech Replublic, traveling in time with Robert Lax’s “silent jam sessions,” the tight-rope dancing of avant-garde circuses and the nomadic pastoralists of the Saharan interior.

The score for this film was created by Fred Frith, who will be visiting and performing at the University that same week… more details about those events can be found here.
