The Man Who Could Not See Far Enough (1981, 35 m.) Music by Ornette Coleman and Thomas Czerny-Hydzik. Climbing the Golden Gate bridge is only one of the four sections of this multi-layered film.

“A film about language and perceptual space, about time and memory, about solitude and sadness, ecstasy and wonder. It is about solar eclipses and suspension bridges, rocky islands and rivers. It is a parody, a eulogy, a spectacle, an essay, a concession and a rite of passage.” — PR.
