THE SEARCH
New Videos by Kyle Canterbury
Presented by WHITE LIGHT CINEMA




For the past several years Kyle Canterbury has been quietly, in the shadows, creating a stunning body of work. His videos are among the richest expressions of cinema of the last several decades. His eye for color and texture, rhythm and composition, rival many of the masters of experimental film. But comparisons are facileŃCanterbury is working different terrain. He is rooting to the primal essence of the video medium unlike anyone before.

In the last year or two, Canterbury has moved from a more formal exploration of video specificity to something less definable. His recent landscape works (for lack of a better description) are ineffable, hauntingly beautiful pieces that frequently operate at the margins of movement. Tiny, almost imperceptible, gestures create micro-rhythms and call for an actively engaged viewer.

Whether it is the Utah desert, a formal garden, or the screen of a window, Canterbury is not so much concerned with what we see as he is with how we see it.

FRIENDSGIVING
A Seasonal Potluck Gathering and 2010 Trailer Shoot



Before the long winter seduces us into social hibernation, let us all gather together ...

We cordially invite you to the second annual FRIENDSGIVING - a seasonal potluck gathering where we share a giant meal and film the 2010 Nightingale trailer.

There will be a turkey, and a vegan entree and the rest is up to potLUCK! We hope to have lots of tasty side-dishes of both vegan and non-vegan persuasions.

Again, this year the trailer will be filmed on 16mm and it will feature all of you. It also promises to be a bit messy- so please wear something that looks nice and that you simultaneously don't mind getting dirty.

Thanks for Supporting Chicago Cinema!
