FULL SYNOPSIS

The Films of Hilary Harris: Organism [1975], 9 Variations [1966], Highway [1958], Longhorn [1951].

“Organism” Academy Award™ winning film maker Hilary Harris’s epic vision of New York City shot over 15 years [1959-74] during which time Mr. Harris pioneered and contemporized time-lapse film making techniques to achieve this unique experiential view of the world we inhabit.

“Hilary Harris is one of the few really interesting filmmakers in the country … a keen and penetrating visual perception … a search for understanding of the complex world about … rare combination of qualities … necessary to making great films” — Leo Hurwitz, former head of NYU Graduate School of the Arts

“Hilary is unquestionably one of the most original and talented filmmakers of the American independent cinema … he is in a class by himself, a master of his craft.” — Amos Vogel, founder of the NY Film Festival

“Why make films at all? To give a richer vision of surrounding reality. My aim is to lift people out of their preconceptions.” — Hilary Harris

Mystic Fire would like to thank Anthology Film Archives and Robert Haller for lending us the film prints and still photos to make this DVD.
