Director
Jordan BELSON
Jordan Belson(1926-2011) was an American artist and filmmaker who created non-objective, often spiritually oriented, abstract films spanning six decades. While Belson is best known for making films, he made a significant body of two-dimensional works and kinetic sculptures from the 1940s until his death in 2011. Like his films, his art brings aesthetic, spiritual, and sensual experiences to the audience, reflecting his deep interest in sacred art, cosmology and cosmogenesis.
