BIOGRAPHIE

Bill Morrison has been called “one of the most adventurous American filmmakers” (Variety, 12/11/11). His work typically makes use of rare archival footage, in which long forgotten film imagery is reframed as part of a collective mythology. Morrison has collaborated with some of the most influential composers of our time, including John Adams, Gavin Bryars, Dave Douglas, Michael Gordon, Henryk Gørecki, Bill Frisell, Vijay Iyer, David Lang, Julia Wolfe, and Steve Reich, among others. “Decasia” (67 min, 2002), his feature length collaboration with composer Michael Gordon, was described by J. Hoberman in the Village Voice as “the most widely acclaimed American avant-garde film of the fin-de-siècle.” “The Miners’ Hymns” (52 min, 2011), a collaboration with composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, produced by Forma, is distributed by the BFI. “Spark of Being” (68 min, 2010), a collaboration with trumpeter Dave Douglas, won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Independent / Experimental Film of 2011. Morrison's films are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, The Nederlands Filmmuseum, and The Library of Congress. He is a Guggenheim fellow and has received the Alpert Award for the Arts, an NEA Creativity Grant, a Creative Capital grant, and a fellowship from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. His work in projection design with Ridge Theater has been recognized with two Bessie awards and an Obie Award.
