The event is over
After many years in experimental video, with Ornette: Made in America, Shirley Clarke presents an atypical portrait of Ornette Coleman, a monumental figure in free jazz. Conceived as a complex mosaic of archive images, conversations, fictional sequences and live performances, the film reveals the multiple facets of the artist's personality and his protean style. Going largely beyond the portrait approach, Ornette: Made in America is also a way for the film director to revive the music omnipresent in her work with this latest feature film. Ornette: Made in America (1985, 77'), by Shirley Clarke.
