About This Screening

Currently teaching film at the University of Colorado, Phil Solomon has been making films for a quarter of a century. His work has been exhibited in major venues around the world. Characterized by dense layering and dreamlike reminiscences of childhood, every aspect of Solomon’s films house a complex visual and aural texture. The rich, organic spaces of the frame come alive through chemical manipulation and the adherence of exquisitely composed soundtracks. Solomon works like "an archaeologist in reverse—throwing the dirt back on the relic, burying the artifacts in order to yield the deeper meanings." He will be presenting ten films spanning more than two decades; included in the programs will be two parts of the work-in-progress Twilight Psalms—a seven-part film elegy for the twentieth century. On Saturday March 27, Solomon taught an intensive workshop titled Film and Sound: Frame-by-Frame at the Northwest Film Center.
