Saul Levine will be presented with the 2016 Stan Brakhage Vision Award
Nov 6, 2016 at the Denver film festival in Denver.
Preeminent film historian P. Adams Sitney-author of the foundational textbook Visionary Film and 2010 recipient of our Vision Award-has called Saul Levine “one of the most underrated filmmakers in the American avant-garde cinema.” Since the mid-1960s, Levine has been creating a body of work that is by turns lyrical, poetic, autobiographical and political. His eclectic oeuvre gives the viewer a vivid feeling for the turbulence of daily life in urban America over the past four decades; it has been shown throughout the world, from Ontario to Lima to Prague to, most recently, the Museum of Modern Art in New York (among other places).
