RPM Festival and the Goethe Institut, Boston co-present a special screening program Gunvor Nelson: Call & Response: Relay (The third part of this series) , honoring one of the highly acclaimed Avard Garde filmmakers Gunvor Nelson. This program features a total of six films from different decades of her long lasting career. Curated by Sarah Keller, Sara Jordeno, Shira Segal and Wenhua Shi.

GUNVOR NELSON (1931–2025) was a prominent figure in American and Swedish avant-garde cinema. Born in Sweden, she studied painting before relocating to California in 1953, where she became involved in the Canyon Cinema collective, encountering filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage, Chris Strand, and Bruce Baillie. Nelson’s deeply personal yet shockingly universal films embody extensive experimentation—including animation, stop-motion, scratching, or painting on film, lens inventions, sound manipulation, and exploration of interiors, framing, and nature –processes that served to explore her experiences related to family and identity, her life as an expatriate, and the cycle of birth and death. She also influenced generations of filmmakers through her teaching at the San Francisco Art Institute (1970–1992).
Returning permanently to Sweden in 1992, Nelson embraced digital video and received renewed recognition in the Swedish art world.
