AMERICAN ALTERNATIVE: KURT HEYL
0.0 (0)2025-12-0111m
Overview
Before Brakhage and Landow, there was Kurt Heyl, a South Side native, musician, and School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s first film student, who briefly held together that school’s experimental film program with spit, spirit, and stubborn grit. Built from Heyl’s own words and images, this video essay kicks off the Chicago Media Histories Project with a rough-edged tribute to a nearly forgotten chapter in underground cinema.
