Cinemad: Ken Jacobs

from Cinemad · host Cinemad

What to say about Ken Jacobs? An avant-garde film legend from his early epic film STAR SPANGLED TO DEATH to his Nervous Magic Lantern live performances. Even at just 40 minutes, his new film SEEKING THE MONKEY KING is another epic, combining strong political statements with his incredible use of abstract 3D imagery, showing how a new technology (and tired fad) can be used to create great art in the right hands. Ken’s son, filmmaker Aza Jacobs, sits in and interviews him, covering his past and present work now spanning 50-plus years, his time with Hans Hofmann, Stan Brakhage and Nicolas Ray, and how Ken met Flo. http://www.starspangledtodeath.com/
