About This Screening
Self-taught filmmaker Ernie Gehr arrived on the scene in the 1970s. His work "draws its energy from the carefully defined limits that structure his every film, a controlled restriction of the cinematic apparatus that, in a seeming paradox, results in incredibly exhilarating and even liberating films. Indeed, in Gehr's hands the camera seems to take on magical properties, able to transform the most quotidian object or environment—the pattern of sunlight on a wall, a busy street—into marvelous and unexpected phenomena" (Harvard Film Archive). Cinema Project is honored to have Ernie Gehr in Portland for a two night program of his master film and video work.
