Jordan Belson: 5 Essential Films
New 2007 release by Center for Visual Music. Contains Allures (1961), Samadhi (1967), Light (1973), Fountain of Dreams (1984, never before released), and Epilogue (2005). "Jordan Belson is one of the greatest artists of visual music. Belson creates lush vibrant experiences of exquisite color and dynamic abstract phenomena evoking sacred celestial experiences." -- Film historian William Moritz. Noted film historian Gene Youngblood writes:"These five films by Jordan Belson, representing his early, middle, and later periods, are essential for three reasons: the early classics were breakthrough masterpieces, the previously unreleased "Fountain of Dreams" is a dazzling revelation from the middle period, and the shimmering "Epilogue" from 2005 makes it clear that the master still has the spark of genius, breathing new life into the vocabulary he has developed over more than a half-century of visionary filmmaking."
