Event Details
Aspen Film is delighted to present an incredible evening of film, art, and music.
The evening will commence with a performance of Scorrevole, followed by a screening of short film Thus, the Night and conclude with a panel conversation.
Scorrevole is a new visual/sonic collaboration by violinist Clara Lyon and visual artist Antonia Contro.
Thus, the Night is a short art film (approx. 19 min.) inspired by French composer Henri Dutilleux’s seminal work for string quartet written in 1976, “Ainsi la Nuit”. One of the final projects produced by and featuring three-time Grammy-nominated Spektral Quartet, production design and art direction was developed by Lyon, Contro, and film production company Four/Ten Media. In Thus, the Night, the collaborative team strove to reflect the composer’s interests in surrealism, highlighting the unique and heightened qualities of perception and memory as enhanced by the liminal space between light and dark.
The panel conversation will include Clara Lyon, Antonia Contro, and Evan Chapman of Four/Ten Media, to be moderated by Michal Raz-Russo, noted curator and Programs Director at the Gordon Parks Foundation.
