Flesh Into Light: The Films of Amy Greenfield

Over her more than four-decade career, New York-based filmmaker, performer, and writer Amy Greenfield has achieved widespread critical acclaim for her genre-bending experimental films—from Antigone/Rites Of Passion to her major new live multimedia work, Club Midnight: Flesh Into Light. Exploring the dynamism of movement and the resilience of the human spirit, Greenfield is the originator of—and remains the most prolific contributor to—a new film-dance movement that has as its primary inspirations cinema, human movement, and fundamental artistic strength.

 

An innovative exploration of an artist whom Cineaste called “the most important practitioner of experimental film-dance,” Flesh Into Light covers Greenfield’s entire career and draws attention to the more than thirty films, holographic sculptures, and video installations of this important American artist.
