Zack Stiglicz quit his job as a political science professor at Williams College in 1987 to become a painter and experimental filmmaker, arriving in Chicago to study at the Art Institute and eventually teach at Columbia College. Taking Ingmar Bergman and Stan Brakhage as his muses, Stiglicz produced shorts tackling subjects ranging from desire and manhood to metaphysics, and when he died in October, he left behind an impressive body of work. This program weaves together Stiglicz's best work, providing an overview of his brief but brilliant career.
