Amy Halpern Series / on 16mm!

The maker of nearly forty short films and one feature film, Amy Halpern was born and raised in NYC and lived and worked in Los Angeles for more than 40 years. Amy’s films are abstract in their concern with light, movement and the film medium, but they are also human in their elements and themes. The idea which persists throughout her work is that of liberation – from social, political, psychological, perceptual and even bodily constraints. All prints courtesy of Canyon Cinema.
