DESCRIPTION:\n	With Leo Goldsmith and Gregory Zinman in person \n\n\n	While
  in pre-production on his science-fiction epic Ad Astra\, director James G
 ray was searching for ways to develop a new visual grammar for a cinematic
  depiction of outer space. He turned to an unlikely source for help: two s
 cholars and curators of experimental media. Over the course of a year\, Le
 o Goldsmith and Gregory Zinman put together notes\, quotes\, and research 
 on over 40 films for Gray and his production team. Their brief was to prov
 ide Gray with examples of how artists of the last 25 years had addressed t
 hemes of space and isolation in their work. This program highlights the fi
 lms and videos of those artists in order to illuminate the ways that Ad As
 tra developed its powerful aesthetic. From painted film to digital abstrac
 tion\, and from Afrofuturist music video to essayistic video-collage\, the
 se works provide insight into the diverse material and conceptual approach
 es to the cosmos the filmmakers drew upon. This program hopes to raise que
 stions regarding the relationship between artists’ moving image and commer
 cial enterprises\, and to demonstrate the ways discrepant visual ideas hel
 p shape a film’s unified look and feel. \n	\n\n\n	Organized by Leo Goldsmi
