Film Portrait

1972 · 80 min

A quiet, reflective collage of memories and painted images that drifts like a personal scrapbook, rewarding patience more than momentum.

Tagline
Through cinema, time becomes annihilated.
Overview
The life of Jerome Hill corresponded with the first formative decades of cinema and a greater part of the 20th century. Through fragments of Hill’s surrealistic, handpainted and documentary films (as well as the James J. Hill family's home movies), this autobiographical work serves as an aesthetically complete documentary of Jerome Hill as an artist and offers a personal perspective of the seventh art.
