Gad Hollander, a poet and filmmaker living in London,
makes his first Bay Area appearance. He reads selections from Walserian
Waltzes, a long poem-in-prose inspired by the "minimal" fictions of
German-Swiss writer Robert Walser. The reading is followed by a screening
of Hollander's film Diary of a Sane Man, the mythical story---interwoven
with a selection of Bach's "Goldberg Variations"---of a girl named Sara
who is led by her grandfather through the mis-en-scene of a film being
shot in Italy. The film is not included on the video. Hollander is introduced
by Steve Dickison.
