His unconventional and experimental approach to filmmaking—which includes literally cooking film to yield different visual effects—has led to a long and varied artistic career. On Saturday April 5, he screened his seminal work “The Flicker” (1965), a black-and-white avant-garde piece. On Sunday, he opted for a selection of comical shorts, some of which featured...
