Hours for Jerome, Parts 1 & 2
-
In Person
“This footage was shot and edited from 1966 to 1970 and edited to completion over a two-year period ending in July 1982. Hours for Jerome (as in a Book of Hours) is an arrangement of images, energies, and illuminations from daily life. These fragments of light revolve around the four seasons. Part 1 is spring through summer; Part 2 is fall and winter” (Nathaniel Dorsky). The second and third parts of a trilogy of sound films made early in his career, A Fall Trip Home “is less a psychodrama and more a sad sweet song of youth and death, of boyhood and manhood and our tender earth” (Dorsky). “[T]he remarkably poetic use of slow motion, and the unhurried, meditative unfolding of episode, distinguish Summerwind as a work of ripeness beyond its maker’s years” (Ken Kelman).
