Introduced by Mark Webber

Gregory J. Markopoulos, Twice a Man, 1963, 48 min
Gregory J. Markopoulos, Through a Lens Brightly: Mark Turbyfill, 1967, 14 min

A major achievement in Markopoulos’ research in terms of editing and the use of colour, Twice a Man is considered by many to be the filmmaker’s masterpiece. This contemporary transposition of the myth of Phaedra, aesthetically shattered, reinvents melodrama. Followed by a magnificent portrait of the dancer and poet Mark Turbyfill, whose vibrant images seem intertwined in an almost musical structure.
