Los Angeles Filmforum presents *Lewis Klahr: From 45 To 33-- Part 1: Fable by the Door*. World premiere! Lewis Klahr in person! ~ This will be the world premiere of *Fable by the Door* (2026, 64m) the second completed feature of Lew Klahr's umbrella series, a new, multi part series of collage films titled *From 45 to 33* of which the first two feature length parts are now complete. ***From 45 To 33.*** This 10-film collage work, like many other film series I’ve created since the early 1980’s, is a “media autobiography”. To clarify -- this is not a memoir, but rather a personalized repurposing of my diverse and voluminous source materials into a cinematic collage that explores “the pastness of the present”. Just like the first completed section of *From 45 to 33-- Part 2-- The Blue Rose of Forgetfulness* (2022, 63.5 min.) -- this new series is a cinema of shifting moods and engagements that offers a tactile exploration of elliptical narrative and poetic montage. Like a waking dream, what can be clearly described in words is less significant than what can be felt. — Lewis Klahr, July 2026 Lew Klahr is a Los Angeles based filmmaker and collage artist who uses found images and sound to explore the pastness of the present where the intersection of memory and history, both personal and cultural, occurs. He began creating his uniquely idiosyncratic films in 1977. These have screened extensively in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Included 3 times in the Whitney Biennial and a Guggenheim Fellow, Lewis Klahr teaches in the Theater School of the California Institute of the Arts.
