The films of Robert Beavers are like stained glass tone poems, earthly film phrases foraged and then framed in light. Born outside of Boston in 1949, Beavers moved from New York to Europe in 1967 with the filmmaker Gregory Markopoulos. The pair produced peerless films that only exist on celluloid. Since the beginning, Beavers has looked out at the world as much as he has inward, figuring himself behind the camera and at the editing table.

The mystery of the filmmaking process is a crucial element in Robert Beavers' artistic signature. Winged Dialogue is characteristic of many of his films: at once lyrical and rigorous, sensual and complex. Mediterranean cities, landscapes, and cultural traditions unveil deeper personal and aesthetic themes. The sexuality of the body and the purity of the soul come together glowingly.

The films of Robert Beavers are exceptional for their visual beauty, aural texture, and depth of emotional expression. Born in 1949 in Brookline, Massachusetts, Beavers began to make films in the mid-sixties in New York City. By the end of that decade, he had relocated to Europe with fellow American filmmaker Gregory J. Markopoulos, who would be his lifelong companion until Markopoulos's death in 1992. The majority of Beavers's films were shot in the seventies and eighties in Italy, Switzerland, and Greece.

A filmmaker who draws on all his skills-as producer, director, cameraman, editor, and sound engineer-to provide a unique vision, Robert Beavers has created a body of poetic work that is meticulously composed, yet sensuous and astoundingly beautiful. Shot largely in Italy and Greece and then edited in Switzerland, Beavers's elegantly lyrical films draw on European landscape, art, and architecture to deeply explore aural and visual perception and the filmic medium itself.

The act of filming should, in itself, be a source of thought and discovery. As simple as this statement appears, it is actually opposed to the conception of the film director's work in front of the camera, which is still an adaption of theatrical `mise-en-scene,' and equally opposed to that of the cameraman who develops a style for the image. By dividing the act of filming into a collaboration between director and technician, the image is reduced to illustrating a preconception; whereas, the function and possibilities of the camera, when used by a filmmaker, should reach what is newly seen and result in an image that has the power to project its meaning into the future.

Beavers’s films are exceptional for their visual beauty, aural texture, depth of emotional expression, and poetic sensibility. They occupy a distinct place in the history of avant-garde film, positioned at the intersection of structural and lyrical filmmaking traditions. Exuding a sense of joy for the medium, the films embody Renaissance ideals in their fascination with perception, psychology, literature, nature, architecture, music, and beauty. (Susan Oxtoby)

Robert Beavers is an American experimental filmmaker best known for My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure, an epic cycle comprising 18 of his films (many later re-edited) made since 1967. Beavers’s use of shaped mattes to obscure aspects of the image and gelatine filters that produce varieties of coloured light are hallmarks of some of his films, many of which observe hand- and craftwork (including his own filmmaking). Born in Brookline, Massachusetts, Beavers attended Deerfield Academy before meeting the filmmaker Gregory J. Markopoulos in 1966. They moved to Europe in 1967 and removed their films from distribution; Beavers did not show his films in the United States again until 1996. Beavers made films in Greece, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. His early Plan of Brussels and Winged Dialogue (1967-68/2000) are multilayered psychic explorations; From the Notebook of…(1971/1998) is set in Florence and inspired by Leonardo’s notebooks. Ruskin (1975/1997) is shot at the various sites of the titular artist/critic’s work in London, the Alps and Venice. Beavers’s only film to use intertitles, the dialogic Sotiros (1976-78/1996) marks the end of his use of filters and mattes. Wingseed(1985), The Hedge Theater (1986-90/2002), The Stoas (1991-97), and The Ground (1993-2001) dwell in pastoral environments in Italy and Greece. Beavers has produced three films outside the Hand Outstretched cycle: Pitcher of Colored Light (2007), The Suppliant (2012)...
