VISIONS OF A CITY
LAWRENCE JORDAN
•
6m 7s
Originally photographed in 1957 but edited in 1978. The protagonist, poet Michael McClure, emerges from the all-reflection imagery of glass shop and car windows, bottles, mirrors and so forth, in scenes which are also accurate portraits of both McClure and the city of San Francisco of the late-1950s. Simultaneously a lyric and mystical film, building to a crescendo of rhythmically intercut shots of the face of McClure seemingly trapped on the glazed surface of the city. Music by William Moraldo.

WATERLIGHT
Among the wanderings that began in the 1950s was a three-year stint by the filmmaker in the merchant marine. WATERLIGHT is a night-and-day impression of the never-constant, ever-changing vast ocean and its companion, the sky.
