Headlands Center for the Arts and the San Francisco International Film Festival present a special program of improvised music by Will Oldham, aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Headlands Artist in Residence, 2008), and Chicago-based Bitchin Bajas to be performed live alongside the projection of experimental films created by Bay Area artist Jerome Hiler.

Joining Oldham and the Bajas is Bay Area-based Cornelius Boots, known as both a virtuosic clarinetist, and a burgeoning master of the shakuhachi flute of Zen Buddhism. Screenings of Hiler’s 16mm films, recognized for their mastery of visual composition, are all too rare, and Hiler and Oldham have selected three that will be shown : Words of Mercury (2011), Marginalia (2015), and Bagatelle II (2016).

Each film displays a different approach to the poetics of moving imagery and the deceptively simple, yet powerful, practice of viewing light passing through celluloid.
