'Dedicated to capabilities unique to film, the first part of my programme honors the observational camera; and the second specifically highlights the materiality of the medium and the poetic language unleashed through exploiting its plastic limitations and potentials.' EH

The films of American artist Eve Heller offer a poetic and uncompromised eye on the world, providing a contemplative and often melancholic space for the audience. Almost always silent, and using black and white film, her short works have a rare transcending quality, moving through filmic time with a profound and subconscious fluidity. In this programme four of Heller's own films are testified alongside essential works by Standish Lawder, Phil Solomon and Phil Hoffman.
