Robert Beavers: Recent Films
-
In Person
Beavers’s recent films demonstrate a continuation of his interest in poetic form, while documenting the world around him. Pitcher of Colored Light is a loving portrait of his mother filmed through the seasons at her home in East Falmouth, Massachusetts. Listening to the Space in My Room, filmed at his home in Zumikon, Switzerland, portrays his landlords, who have spent decades of their shared lives in that country house. First Weeks, a portrait of an infant, is made in the spirit of the moment and echoes the creative impulse of German filmmaker Ute Aurand’s “occasional” films, the most recent of which, Four Diamonds, concludes the program.
