A three night survey of moving image and performance works by Dicky made in the last 5 years. $10 each night / $25 for all 3 - No one turned away for lack of funds “His varied and complex engagement with moving image and photographic media is steeped in a deeply felt humanity and empathy, manifesting through his inspired photographic eye and frequently direct interaction with and appreciation of the material vitality of film and cinema. His films achieve heightened emotional states of great intimacy and poetry, often channeling the uniquely aleatory qualities of film to carry a sensuality and spirituality hovering in the space between loving depiction and vaporous abstraction.” (Mark Toscano) **Friday, January 30th at 8:30 pm** - **short films of Dicky Bahto** This programs features recent short films by Dicky Bahto, none of which have previously screened in Los Angeles, including his most recently completed film, a portrait of the Argentine-French artist Cesar Cofone, two recent music videos for Grouper and Tashi Wada, and an excerpt from his three-hour long collaborative work *Music for a Bellowing Room *with composer Sarah Davachi.
