Breakaway: Films by Bruce Conner

We are proud to present a sampling of Bruce Conner’s greatest films, celebrating what would have been his 77th birthday. A painter, sculptor and collagist, Conner is perhaps best remembered as among the most important—and delightful—experimental filmmakers of the late 20th century.

Empathy

Director in attendance

Nov 19

(Amie Siegel, 2003, USA, 35mm, 92 min)

It’s much more than a traditional documentary, with interviews of practicing psychoanalysts dispersed throughout, resulting in an ultimate collapse of the genres of fiction, screen test and documentary.
