Living the Light - Robby Müller

Director: Claire Pijman

2018 / 86min / DCP

With full access to Müller’s enormous personal archive of photographs and footage, Pijman—who had previously worked as Müller’s camera operator—creates an idiosyncratic portrait of a complicated man and superlative artist, offering ample evidence that his fascination with the mysteries of light was a full-time obsession. An intimate and appropriately sumptuous tribute to its subject, crafted from the bounty of extraordinary images he left behind—as well as curios like an answering machine message from David Lynch—set to an evocative guitar score by Müller collaborator Jim Jarmusch’s band Sqürl.

U.S. Premiere

Followed by a panel on Müller’s continued influence on filmmaking, organized in collaboration with ASC and including Claire Pijman, Frederick Elmes, Frankie DeMarco, and Ashley Connor, moderated by DeWitt Davis. Saturday, September 30, 7pm

Q&A with director, Claire Pijman, on Sunday, October 1st at 2:30pm
