“... director Jules Rosskam has crafted one of the most moving documentaries seen in quite some time ... An essay film par excellence ... PATERNAL RITES fully transcends the world of documentary ... Gorgeously crafted and emotionally devastating ... A breathtaking experience that finds a level of intimacy few films are ever willing to ... simply a film unlike any you’ve ever seen before.”— Criterion
Dan Bailey’s films and animations have received numerous national and international awards and have been included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France. His work has been screened at the Kennedy Center, Whitney Museum, and Museum of Modern Art, and has been broadcast on HBO and PBS. He directed 18 minutes of animation for the Minnesota Orchestra’s award-winning pilot video <em>On the Day You Were Born</em> and collaborated with MIT Researcher, Kent Larson, on a virtual documentary of Louis Kahn’s as-yet-unbuilt Hurva Synagogue.
His recent work in real-time interactive visualizations includes a Digital 3D puppet of George W. Bush, a visualization of Henri Matisse’s sculpture process, and a virtual tour of the Cone sisters’ collection of early 20th century art. He is currently working on a major research project of visualizing Washington, D.C. just before the British destroyed much of the city during the War of 1812. A pilot of this research was exhibited at the Walters Art Museum in spring 2008, and an upcoming PBS documentary on Benjamin Henry Latrobe will include major aspects of the work.
All lectures are free and open to the public and are held in the CADVC gallery space.
