Melts Into Air (2000)

ALL THATS SOLID and MELTS INTO AIR are each separate films shot at an exhibition of the urban landscape artist Tyree Suyton in Cambridge at Harvard I was struck by the redemptive critical and visionary character of his work which struck me as similar to GM Hopkins or Clarence Smith Coincidentally as I was shooting these films I went to a screening of Charles Burnett and asked him what film he would like to make but couldnt get the money for He replied a feature narrative about Tyree Suyton So I put together four of the films from Spring 2000 into a fourfilm work called 4 For Charles Burnett All Thats Solid Melts Into Air They are ALL THATS SOLID LIGHT LICK TOSCANINIS EUROPEAN SIDEWALK CAFE and MELTS INTO AIR
