Description
David Rimmer is among Canada's best-known and most influential experimental filmmakers. This three-volume set brings together his seminal works, made between 1968 and 1986. Born in Vancouver, B.C., Rimmer is a key figure in that city's avant-garde as well as on the New York scene. His films are distinguished by their formal experimentation with looping, superimposition, and optical printing. But they also transcend the constraints of structural cinema to achieve a poetic and metaphorical dimension.
