Screening in a movie theater for the very first time, David Michalek’s breathtaking slow-motion films of iconic stage and screen performers—including Lili Taylor—are paired with live music by Morton Feldman, performed by the acclaimed Neave Trio. Originally created for Portraits in Dramatic Time, which premiered at Lincoln Center Plaza in 2011, these films were hailed as a “new type of cinema,” drawing audiences into a hypnotic world that feels at once expansive, intimate, and quietly thrilling—like watching a landscape subtly transform over time.
Following the screening, actress Lili Taylor and artist David Michalek will join in conversation to explore what this project reveals about acting, art, and the nature of cinema.
