    Lecture by Peter Kubelka. From groundbreaking 1950s shorts to the recent Poetry and Truth, we survey the career of the man Stan Brakhage called "the world's greatest filmmaker." "Kubelka's cinema is like a piece of crystal, or some other object of nature: it does not look like it was produced by man."-P. Adams Sitney
