Tragic news - Experiments in Cinema was always honored to have the opportunity to screen Robert’s work and although he never made it to our event (he often talked about making the pilgrimage) I fondly recall many conversations when the two of us were in attendance at the Ann Arbor Film Festival. I’ll miss you Robert. Bryan Konefsky Founder/Director, Experiments in Cinema
