Conversa com Jay Rosenblatt por Jaimie Baron Talk

← All Programming

In this conversation, Jaimie Baron will engage with Jay Rosenblatt about the intersections between his cinema and the concepts of archive, memory, and time. Combining found footage material with an intimate and poetic perspective on themes such as trauma, childhood, and the passage of time, Rosenblatt's work resonates particularly with Baron's concepts of the "archive effect" and "archival anticipation." This on-stage conversation will be an opportunity to explore the ways in which cinema can reconfigure the past and reveal the invisible through images.
