Film Series/Exhibition Title: 
An Open Window: Víctor Erice
Description: 

Erice’s third feature is an exquisite portrait of the Spanish realist painter Antonio López García as he paints a single work: a picture of a quince tree in his backyard, which stimulates thoughts on light, painting, and process; on death; on what we know of the world; and how we know it. Erice’s film is itself a “painting from life,” taking in López’s conversations with friends and his quiet musings, his paintings of Madrid, and the director’s own images of this sumptuous city. “A thoughtful, delicate inquiry into the essence of the artistic process” (NY Times).
