North Star: Mark di Suvero

(1977)

Directed by François de Menil
Music by Philip Glass

NOTES:
North Star (1977), a film by Barbara Rose and François de Menil, documents the work of the American sculptor Mark di Suvero. The construction and installation of an exhibit of di Suvero's work is the subject of the film. The music was commissioned by the film makers and follows the development of the exhibit work by work. Accordingly, the name of each of the music compositions is taken from the work of sculpture being viewed in the film. Mark di Suvero appears throughout and his presence adds a powerful biografical touch to the work.
