A Poetic Archaeology of Cinema: The Films of Bill Morrison, by Matthew Levine

Bill Morrison‘s films often combine archival film material with contemporary pieces of music from internationally recognized composers. His masterpiece Decasia (67 min, 2002), a collaboration with the composer Michael Gordon, was selected for the 2013 National Film Registry of the Library of Congress of the US, becoming the most modern film named to be part of the list that preserves works of “great cultural, historic or aesthetic significance to the nation’s cinematic heritage.”
