"FRIENDLY WITNESSES: The Worlds of Warren Sonbert"
2000-10-26 until 2000-12-17
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA,
USA
Warren Sonbert, an independent filmmaker renowned for his avant-garde, diarist
style, began producing films in 1966. Originally inspired by American artists in Andy
Warhol's circle, he eventually perfected a unique brand of montage informed by art
and industry, news reportage and other contemporary issues.
The first major
retrospective of Sonbert's work since his death in 1995, this series of film screenings
presents a wide selection of newly restored works by Sonbert in tandem with films by
some of his influences, including Gerard Malanga, Stan Brakhage and Alfred
Hitchcock. All screenings will be held Sundays in the Phyllis Wattis Theater.
