Friendly Witness
Warren Sonbert, 1989, US, 16mm, 22'
Warren Sonbert was one of the seminal figures working in American experimental film. He started making films in 1966 and before he was 20 years old the New York cinematheque offered him his first career retrospective. In Friendly Witness, Sonbert returned, after 20 years, to sound. A swirling montage of images - suggestive of loves gained and love lost - to the tunes of rock songs.
