Tribute to a surrealist

Cornell Cinema will host "A Tribute to Bruce Conner," Nov. 18 at 7:15 p.m. in Willard Straight Theatre.

Conner, who died in July, was an internationally acclaimed avant-garde filmmaker and sculptor who also worked in printmaking, photography and installation art. A key figure in the late 1950s San Francisco Beat scene, he began making experimental films alongside Stan Brakhage and pioneered the art of found footage collage filmmaking, as seen in the wry, erotic "A Movie." The tribute will be introduced by Jeremy Braddock, English, and Michelle Silva of the Conner Family Trust.
