THE FILMS OF JAY ROSENBLATT
San Francisco filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt’s short films are elegant mosaics combining educational movies from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, newsreels, Hollywood clips, historical footage, home movies, and a rich trove or archival materials. Surreal and dreamlike as they often feel, Rosenblatt’s movies also have hard-hitting psychological and historical underpinnings. He is arguably the most acclaimed filmmaker of short personal/experimental movies working in the U.S. today, and a recipient of both Guggenheim and Rockefeller Fellowships.
