Eve Heller is a young, very poetic voice in the harmony choir of the American avant-garde. Her Glacial Speed, composed from shots from the 1960s and the early 1970s, redefined by the optical printer, allows the viewer to float. Eve Heller: ‘The world as seen in a teardrop of milk.’
Eve HELLER (1961, North Hampton, Massachusetts) studied film making, philosophy, German literature and political science. Her films have been screened in several museums and at festivals.
