Description:
The Arboretum Cycle (Nathaniel Dorsky, 2017-18, USA, 16mm, approx. 137 min.)
Since the 1960s, experimental filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky has been making a distinctive and stunning body of work. His silent 16mm films are lyrical explorations of the world around him, focused on the textures, colors, and rhythms of everyday objects and movements. His sharp eye for details reveals the small moments of beauty and wonder to be found everywhere if one would simply take the time to look. The Arboretum Cycle is comprised of seven of Dorsky's films, all completed in 2017, and charts "the world of light and plants" over the course of a year.
