From Barbara Loden’s WANDA to Charles Burnett’s KILLER OF SHEEP to Kenneth Anger’s SCORPIO RISING and beyond, the list of his film preservation projects is studded with vital films that have migrated from the periphery to the center of the film canon. With the recent publication of his collected writings under the title The Archival Impermanence Project (Sticking Place Books), Lipman posits film preservation as at once a philosophical and a historical endeavor, an interpretive as well as recuperative gesture.For this special screening, Lipman will present and discuss one of his most unruly preservation projects: Richard Beymer’s long-lost psychedelic magnum opus THE INNERVIEW (1973-1975/2024). Like Dean Stockwell and fellow West Side Story co-star Russ Tamblyn, Beymer was a former child star who fell under the spell of experimental filmmaking in the 1960s and 70s, before later finding a home in David Lynch’s company of actors. In 1973, Beymer created THE INNERVIEW, a kaleidoscopic, intensely self-reflexive lysergic ode to subjective experience and the art of moviemaking, before re-editing it multiple times in successive years. With abrupt transitions between film stocks and psychological registers, intentional uses of degraded celluloid and fragmentary passages of found-footage (not to mention its numerous iterations), THE INNERVIEW is a film of constant flux; what better to illustrate the provisional, fluid art of film preservation?Following the screening, Lipman will appear for discussion and audience Q&A.About the guest:Ross Lipman is an independent filmmaker, archivist, and essayist.
