American Mirror - Intimations of Immortality

"Oscar-winning screen icon Susan Sarandon and painter Tigran Tsitoghdzyan discuss time and identity, and how the apparently in conflict values of beauty and aging are perceived in our modern society dominated by social media."

Oscar-winning screen icon Susan Sarandon and Armenian painter Tigran Tsitoghdzyan discuss time and identity, and how the apparently in conflict values of beauty and aging are perceived in our modern society dominated by social media, as he limns her portrait during a timeless sitting session. With this film the director sets in motion his film theory on poetics of cinematic art, by re-creating a set of sense memories of an artist in a non-linear, challenging, yet intriguing story-telling scheme.

    "Art alone is complicated, so it’s only sensible that an appropriate translation of the headspace of a sophisticated artist would be as equally perplexing. American Memory – Intimation of Immortality is a strange beast of a feature, an undefinable fever dream of artistic memories and clashing personalities that definitely shrugs off any expected genre conventions. There’s certainly a paradox in capturing portraits which are themselves artistic emulations, but there’s a lingering, finely-drawn intelligence to Arthur Balder’s hallucinogenic compilation, one which welcomes many readings no matter how you look at it, which I truly feel best reflects the work of it’s central subjects."
