Henry Hills: Selected Films 1977-2008 (2009)

Moving into New York in 1978, filmmaker Henry Hills formed a strong alliance with the Downtown improvisers and the “Language” poets, guiding his film work toward a rhythmic, multi-layered world filled with unpredictable changes and a striking improvisational edge. The very best of his short, intense films are presented here – from the downtown all-star MONEY to structural dance films like THE LITTLE LIEUTENANT and BALI MECHANIQUE. These films are brilliantly visual, crammed with image and double meaning. Also included is his 1990 music video for the band Naked City’s song, “Gotham.”
