Lewis Klahr

Lewis Klahr, born in 1956 in New York, USA, has been making films since 1977. He is known for his uniquely idiosyncratic collage films which have screened extensively in the United States, Europe and Asia—in venues such as New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, the New York Film Festival, the Toronto IFF, the Hong Kong IFF, the London Film Festival, the LA County Museum of Art, and the Tate Modern. In May of 2010, The Wexner Center for the Arts presented a five-program retrospective of Klahr's films. His film [Wednesday Morning Two A.M.] was awarded a Tiger Award at the 2010 International Film Festival at Rotterdam. His epic cutout animation [The Pharaoh's Belt] received a special citation for experimental work from the National Society of Film Critics in 1994. Klahr was The Wexner Center for the Arts 2010 Media Arts Residency Award Winner. Klahr teaches in the Theater School at the California Institute of the Arts. Lewis Klahr's work is represented by The Anthony Reynolds Gallery in London, UK.
