Film theater attracts
highly touted Myers
The films of Richard Myers have been called ingenious,
radical, poetic, shocking and brilliant. Most critics of his work
say he is one of the most talented filmmakers in experimental
cinema.
Myers is now in Lincoln with some of his award-winning
films, which are part of the new Sheldon Film Theater
Filmmaker's Showcase.
Myers' films are radically contemporary and have been
likened to Jean Luc Godard's in the intensity of their images.
He has described his work as a "mythic cycle experience".
"I see things around me fantasy style, surrealistic if you
will, that I want to have in my movie," he said. "You see
certain visual phenomena around you all the time, and I'm
simply recording all the circuitry..."
"I deal with ideas which aren't entertaining," he added,
"but I hope to entertain in a different way, through good
pictures, juxtaposition, images."
Myers is a cinematography instructor at Kent State
University in Ohio. He began work in films in 1961. He has
won many awards, has had his films shown in international
film festivals and has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship
for filmmaking.

out of my head
His films include Coronation, First Time Here, Everybody
Knows Fay Wray, Akran and Deathstyles. The latter two have
received major awards at the Ann Arbor Film Festival and also
were included in the New American Filmmakers Series,
sponsored by the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Myers will be in Lincoln through Thursday and will lecture
and present some of his films at 7:30 p.m. tonight and
Thursday in the Sheldon Art gallery auditorium. He will hold
discussions today at 10 am. at Centennial College and at 3:30
p.m. in the English department library.
The Filmmakers Showcase is important because nowhere
else in this area can people interested in films and filmmaking
come in contact with experimental, independent filmmakers.
In addition to Myers, the Filmmaker's Showcase has
scheduled Frederic Wiseman, a documentary filmmaker, for a
two-day visit in April. To correspond with Wiseman's visit, the
showcase and the Nebraska Union Special Films Committee
have scheduled five of his films, including Essene and Juvenile
Court.
The Sheldon Theater Filmmaker's Showcase also has made
contact with Lionel Rogosin, Robert Frank, Suzan Pitt
Kranning and John Cassavetes for future programs.
