Ultra-seeing Film Series

presented by UTD and Light Cone

Ultra-seeing is an exploration of experimental cinema from the perspective of synesthesia, visual music, and visualization of music.

Each hour-long session will bring together major works from the rich collection of Light Cone, a French organization dedicated to the diffusion and conservation of experimental cinema, and contemporary productions from local and international artists.

Free admission with RSVP. Register for the entire series or for individual screenings below.
