Film Jennifer Reeves: Argument for the Immediate Sensuous

  • 10

The second of the three programs comprising SF Cinematheque's brief Jennifer Reeves retrospective presents the fullest sense of the director's startling range. Light Work 1 (2007) is an eye-popping meditation on the changing textures of cinema, jumping from scratchy, reconstituted 16mm footage to hallucinations in high definition. Chronic (1997), meanwhile, marks an early stab at the kind of immersive narrative Reeves expanded on in 2004's The Time We Killed. The program also includes two of her hand-painted films, along with a work by Stan Brakhage (1999's Stately Mansions Did Decree) — a good example of an earlier master's use of that uniquely impressionistic film technique.
