A Tribute to John Cage (1973, re-edited 1976). Paik and Cage initially met in Berlin in 1958. Beyond being a being a key inspiration for Paik, Cage was a close friend and frequent collaborator. The 29-minute film creates a beautiful portrait of Cage via documented performances, interviews, and anecdotes. A unique collage of chance, humor, sound, color and grit from one legend to another. Two additional surprise tribute films will be screened this night.
