MUCH TOO BLIND (to see the damage he's done)

an alternative score to Sunrise consisting of the 20 tracks from the Grace

2022 · 80 min

two mythical, sensual, queer investigations of yearning, strung together: FW Murnau's Sunrise (1927) & Jeff Buckley's Grace (1994). there's the moon, asking to stay: it's never over. what is love? what is happiness? what is life? what is peace? when will I find the strength to bring me release?

Built from Heyl’s own words and images, this video essay kicks off the Chicago Media Histories Project with a rough-edged tribute to a nearly forgotten chapter in underground cinema.
