Shot in Rome and Salzburg’s natural theatre, the film uses cutting and sewing as metaphors for love, separation, and the craft of montage. Cloth being trimmed, hands clapping, and tools striking accompany images of tailoring, architectural restoration, and Beavers himself in a new suit, linking gesture and sound to the editing process.

My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure

My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure is a film cycle by Robert Beavers, developed between 1968 and 2002. Rather than a single compiled film, it consists of individual works that Beavers continually re-edited and re-contextualized, shaping them into a larger cycle presented under this title. The phrase itself may sound like a poetic riddle, yet its meaning becomes clear in the experience of seeing and hearing the films. While sometimes treated as one work in retrospectives and museum programs, My Hand Outstretched… is best understood as a collection of interconnected films, not a singular release.
