Double Bill: Morrison and Frisell is screening for $15 (suggested donation at the door) #IntheCinema on December 10, 2021 at 7:30pm.
Filmmaker Bill Morrison (The Village Detective: a song cycle, Dawson City: Frozen Time) and composer/guitarist Bill Frisell appear at Maysles for a live night of experimentation and improvisation, with visual sources including short films, newsreels, loops, and cat cam videos.
Frisell and Morrison met over 30 years ago when they were both working at the Village Vanguard in the early 1990s, with Frisell leading and supporting multiple world class bands onstage, while Morrison held down the dishwasher position in the kitchen.
Their friendship and collaboration has produced a number of films and live performances over the years, including The Film of Her, The Mesmerist, The Great Flood, and last August’s performance at The Tank Center for Sonic Arts in Rangely CO.
