JIM JENNINGS & FRIENDS
Film Notes

        To celebrate the 66th birthday of Jim Jennings, a beloved yet under-sung stalwart of the New York City experimental film community whose lyrical, sharp-eyed films speak to the glorious tradition of urban street photography, we have invited six of Jennings’s fellow filmmakers – Abigail Child, Nathaniel Dorsky, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Henry Hills, and Ken Jacobs – to select their favorite films from throughout his long, productive career. With the exception of Nathaniel Dorsky and Henry Hills (who will be here in spirit), they will all be present to introduce their chosen films, alongside Jim himself who will screen his very first film, made 50 years ago!
