Between Two Cinemas

Between Two Cinemas is something beyond category: at once an original essay film unveiling previously unseen archival material on Stan Brakhage and Andrei Tarkovsky, and an anthology of short films featuring new collaborations with visionary experimentalist Bruce Baillie, Jeanne Dielman cinematographer Babette Mangolte, Bela Tarr composer Mihaly Vig and synthesizer pioneer Patrick Gleeson. At the same time, the film documents Lipman's winding path between classic international cinema and the American avant-garde. It is an enthralling exploration of discord and resonance between two divergent cultures, and the worlds from which they emerge.
