劉易斯・克拉爾 －《忘卻的藍玫瑰》

策展人的話：影片中所用之文字手法為拼貼藝術中的一種，彷彿達達主義的拼貼，又模仿美式漫畫的對話形式，藝術家克拉爾對於電影中每一幀每一幕的視覺設計都經過精心編排，若是加上中文字幕，一來破壞原本的構圖美學，二來有些字卡更多是一種象徵形式，並非一定只能以語言的方式去理解。因此影片無中文字幕，特此說明。

《忘卻的藍玫瑰》（2021 年，63:30）是我最新的拼貼電影長片系列，匯集了 2015 年至 2020 年期間創作的 6 部電影。如同清醒時的夢境，能夠用語言清楚描述的東西，遠不如能夠感受到的東西重要。 —— Lewis Klahr，2022 年 8 月

The Blue Rose of Forgetfulness (2021, 63:30) is my latest feature length series of collage films, is a compilation of 6 films created between 2015 and 2020. At once focused and diffuse, porous and dense, it is a cinema of shifting moods and engagements centered upon thematics of love that offers a tactile exploration of elliptical narrative. Like a waking dream, what can be clearly described in words is less significant than what can be felt. – Lewis Klahr, August 2022

Lewis Klahr has been making films since 1977 working successively in Super 8, then 16mm and now digital. He is known for his uniquely idiosyncratic collage films, which use found images and sound to explore the intersection of memory and history. Klahr's films have screened extensively in the United States, Europe and Asia – in venues such as New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial (3 times), the New York Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Hong Kong International Film Festival, The Tate Modern, the Pompidou Center, Redcat, MOCA and the LA County Museum of Art.

In May of 2010 The Wexner Center for the Arts presented a 5 program retropsective of Klahr's films. In March 2013 his digital Films received a weekend retro at the Museum of the Moving Image that was accomapanied by an 8 page profile/interview in Artforum. MoMI also did a 3 program retrospective of Klahr's work in October 2023. His film "Wednesday Morning Two A.M." was awarded a Tiger Award for Best Short Film at the 2010 International Film Festival at Rotterdam. His epic cutout animation "The Pharaoh's Belt" received a special citation for experimental work from the National Society of Film Critics in 1994. Klahr's feature length film "The Pettifogger" was selected as one of the best films of 2012 by Artforum Magazine. He has also received commissions from European arts organizations such as the Gronnegard Theater in Copenhagen (Lulu) and the Rotterdam International Film Festival (Two Minutes to Zero). Klahr's work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Collecion Inelcom as well as various private collections.

Throughout 2016 and 2017 Sixty Six extensively toured the U.S., Europe and Asia in film festivals, cinemas and museums.
