Henry HILLS


Nationality: American

Born, Atlanta, Georgia. Began making 16 mm films 1975 in San Francisco. Moved to New York in 1978. He taught at FAMU in Prague from 2005 through 2019, commuting from Vienna, and has recently been gradually relocating back to New York.

Henry Hills has been making dense, intensely rhythmic experimental films since 1975. A longtime resident of New York's East Village, he has ongoing working relationships with the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Poets, composer John Zorn, and choreographer Sally Silvers. Since 2005 he has been Visiting Professor at FAMU, the Czech national film academy in Prague, and currently lives in Vienna. He received a 2009 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship & has works included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. His films, with an eccentric humor, seek abstraction within sharply-focused naturalistic imagery and the ethereal within the mundane, promoting an active attentiveness through a relentlessly concentrated montage.
