Tossup

The first of a series of films by this director opens with him dedicating the work to Petrarca over ambient music at a bar in Williamsburg. Folk music on accordion plays over a sequence of cars’ headlights driving down a rainy street in another film by this director. This director created and uploaded a diary film to his website every day in 2007 (15[1])to make his 365 Day Project; those films often use this director’s handwritten title cards with the text outlined in a red box. This director opened another film by explaining his decision not to order the moments in that film chronologically, but “by chance, as [he] found them on the shelf,” in a work drawn from (*) thirty years of his personal home recordings. For 10 points, name this Lithuanian-born experimental filmmaker, who directed As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty. ■END■
