For more information and to RSVP, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beryl-sokoloff-and-hy-hirsh-tickets-15899286193 This program is a celebration of the late artist Beryl Sokoloff, whose work has been obscure for many years. Now experiencing a revival, Melnitz Movies hopes to contribute to the deserved attention brought upon this artist, whose filmic observations allow one to inhabit his gaze and gait, to experience his remarkable transformative vision. Moving deeper into abstraction, we will also present three films by Hy Hirsh, an influential visual music artist, close friends and one time roommate of Sokoloff. Brought together again in this program, these two filmmakers inject rhythm into their observed processes, and in visualizing their classical, jazz and experimental scores (including Miles Davis and John Cage) they exhibit a fascination with other arts, where the process becomes the work itself. *Les Girls *- Beryl Sokoloff, 8 mins, Print from Anthology Film Archives, preserved by Silver Bow Art with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation. *Mural* - Beryl Sokoloff 9 mins, Print from Anthology Film Archives *Ruben’s Nightmare* - Beryl Sokoloff, 14 mins, Print from Anthology Film Archives *Scratch Pad* - Hy Hirsh, 9mins, Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive from the iotaCenter collection *Autumn Spectrum *- Hy Hirsh, 7 mins, Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive from the iotaCenter collection *Horror Dream* - Hy Hirsh and Sidney Peterson, 10 mins, Print courtesy of Canyon Cinema (Total running time: 70 mins, 16mm) *With special thanks to The Creative Film Society, who graciously allowed Melnitz Movies to screen Scratch Pad and Autumn Spectrum and to Crista Grauer for Beryl Sokoloff's prints.*
