Master Class Kostas Seremetis

a Master Class with participating New York artist, Kostas Seremetis
presenting his film "Trilogy".

A moving visual and aural collage consisting of the Star Wars Trilogy,artist Kostas Seremetis edited this 126 minute film, taking the right third of Star Wars, the middle third of Empire Strikes Back and the left third of Return of the Jedi, synchronizing them to dissonant
effect. Every frame is a study in Abstract Expressionist Pop art as this moving collage of the most iconic films of our time moves to the sounds of the three films playing simultaneously. Characters move in and out of portions of the screen, ships and battles appear and disappear melding into one part of the screen from another part while the third portion of the screen portrays a crucial moment of discovery in a character's development.
This invitation-only screening will be preceded by an introduction by the artist and followed by a discussion of the film.
