In three programs complementing our series The Art of Cinematography, filmmakers Peter Mettler, Emiko Omori, and Elliot Davis join us to shed light on the subtleties and choices involved in working with the distinctive language of cinema. Mettler, who is also our featured guest in this season鈥檚 Afterimage series, will speak about his aesthetic strategies and the making of Manufactured Landscapes. Omori, a specialist in documentary film and public television who has been influenced by artists such as photographer Eug猫ne Atget and filmmaker Chris Marker, will be joined by editor and collaborator Pat Jackson to discuss Rabbit in the Moon. Director and cinematographer Elliot Davis, who deserves credit for suggesting the theme of this series, offers an appreciation of Douglas Sirk鈥檚 classic The Tarnished Angels and shares his thoughts on the power of the film鈥檚 visual design.
