ON FILM: Decasia

billmorrisonfilm.com

 

   In a rebroadcast from March 15, 2014, Charles talks with Bill Morrison, who wrote, directed, edited, and produced the 2002 film "Decasia," which was recently added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry.  The experimental film consists of pieces of film that are in various states of decomposition.  Bill says the images are meant to invite the viewer's mind to wander.  In this online exclusive extended interview, Bill explains the connections that tie the sequences together, despite the fact that there is no narrative arc.  He also discusses how the movie grew out of a request to visually accompany a new symphony.  http://billmorrisonfilm.com/

Aired July 5, 2014.
