George Andrews

1970 • Directed by

Orville Wanzer

Experience George Andrews, a semi-autobiographical masterpiece written, directed, and starring Wanzer himself. This newly digitized 16mm film is an experimental and thought-provoking exploration of memory, reality, and the social conventions of 1970s middle-class aspirations. Dr. Smith attributes Wanzer's dazzling array of stylistic techniques to his love for avant-garde pioneers like Maya Deren, Jean Cocteau, and Ingmar Bergman. George Andrews employs montage, slow-motion, and non-linear storytelling to challenge conventional cinematic norms as it challenges the conventional worldviews of its characters.
