The legendary Bruce Davidson has challenged himself in a remarkable new way, taking on the visual and metaphorical scope of Central Park. Davidson's photographic approach to the park's wildlife - human and otherwise - varies in format and in emotional quality. Always compassionate, often idiosyncratic, this work reveals a sublime and at times transcendent vision.
Bruce Davidson is the recipient of the National Arts Club 2007 Gold Medal.
SANS SOLEIL. (1983, CHRIS MARKER) An image of three happy children on a windy day in Iceland links up with women at a cat memorial in Japan; Hitchcock's Vertigo re-created on the Bay Area locations where it was shot; an exchange of glances at a market in Guinea-Bissau; the connections and juxtapositions are extreme, but seemingly effortless. "One of the key non-fiction films of our time... it registers like a poem one might find in a time capsule." - Jonathan Rosenbaum.
Plus LES MAÎTRES FOUS (1955) "Jean Rouch's seminal ethnographic short about the Hauka of West Africa, whose violent trance rituals imitate and mock British colonialism." - Rosenbaum. "An absolute must." - Herzog.
The 1970s television series M*A*S*H followed a hapless US medical corps stationed in the Korean War. Today, as the US continues to fight in Iraq, doctors, nurses, and medics are working on the front lines to keep their casualties down. Thomas Dworzak was with them - embedded with the 44th Medcoms 50th and 150th Medical Companies in Iraq over several periods in 2005.
