FILM

Rhinoceros involves the fascinating figure of Alessandro de’ Medici as he makes a passionate appeal to rally the good people of Florence. In black and white video, the film resembles a televised broadcast in the last days of Muammar Gaddafi. This short film sets the stage for Everson's upcoming feature, "Rhino" that will examine the parallel worlds of politics and performance in sixteenth century Italy and twentieth century Hollywood, through the personages of de’Medici and the actress Gail Fisher (Mannix).
