In Palinode a diskshaped matte continually shifting in and out of focus alternately blocks part of the image or contains it Its respiratory rhythm matches operatic fragments of Wladimir Vogels Wagadu as the camera studies a middleaged male singer in Zurich singing eating window shopping and meeting a young girl The filmmaker told himself Dont let yourself know what that film is about while you are making it P Adams Sitney Film Comment

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.
