screening review "... In one sense a personal diary of a trip to Prague, Saul Levine’s Light Licks: By the Waters of Babylon: I WANT TO PAINT IT BLACK seems an attempt at melding the realities of indeterminacy – inconsistencies, light leaks, as it were – with more structured elements extant in the filmmaker’s surroundings, such as architecture and his mind’s organizing of what is around him. The light starts to form buildings of its own, triumphal arches and spheres that merge into one another, penumbrae around the lights of looming vitality that are both documented and reimagined here. While Jordan Belson’s abstractions were a look at the vision generated behind the eye, Levine’s work is always equally introspective, but more about the eye/mind dialogue, being only half about imagery."
