Song

synopsis

This traditional film by a legend of experimental filmmaking offers a quiet testimony to autumn in San Francisco, as the rhythm and texture of the images create a melody. The ephemeral camera and meticulous editing give rise to introspective images with a focus on light and the fragile movement of visual fragments of intimately familiar surroundings.

The images’ impact is further heightened by the use of Kodachrome, a colour film that Kodak produced from 1935 to 2009. Dorsky’s recent films are some of last ever to be made on this film stock.
