Storm De Hirsch “Third Eye Butterfly” and Other Films

Microscope Gallery is extremely pleased to present a rare screening of three films by seminal artist Storm de Hirsch, filmmaker, poet, painter, and a co-founder of The Film-maker’s Cooperative in New York in 1961. Despite her extensive presence and influence in the avant-garde film scene of New York in the 1960s, De Hirsch’s work and history has largely remained obscure, especially since her death in 2000. De Hirsch’s pioneering films often involve direct scratching, coloring, etching, painting on film and animation applied to imagery shot in everyday life.
