Program 2: Visible Invisible (1968)
Directed by James Richards, Artavazd Pelechian, Johann Lurf, Morgan Fisher
67 minutes
Initiated in 1968, Morgan Fisher’s _Screening Room_ is a site-specific work, a film remade for and shown only in the place in which it was filmed. This latest version (or, to use Fisher’s term, “state”) of the film—with production executed by filmmaker James N. Kienitz Wilkins with the support of Mostly Works and camerawork by Dan Fridman—leads the spectator into Film at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater in a single tracking shot, a journey that unveils cinema’s enigmatic status as, at once, a physical space, a filmic object, and an ephemeral image.
