(N) Page 2 Hitchcock's often imitated, but not always equaled, espionage thriller "North By Northwest" (1959), which stars Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. They are among my all-time favorite movies. This "Special Home Edi- tion" will run all weekend, and for viewers in the east, the actual close of the festi- val will be in the wee small of hours of Monday morn- ing April 20, at 3:30 a.m. to be precise, with a showing of "Victor/Victoria" starring Julie Andrews and James Garner. Had the event gone on as scheduled in Los Angeles, Andrews was going to be in attendance throughout the festival. The schedule is jammed with wonderful movies, including the genius of silent comedian Harold Lloyd in "Safety Last," the restored "Metropolis" with missing footage found in Argentina, Ingmar Berg- man's "The Seventh Seal," the fascinating documenta- ry "Grey Gardens," director Orson Welles' "The Magnifi- cent Ambersons," the Bea- tles in "A Hard Day's Night," the much loved "Casablan- ca," the genius of director David Lean and his "Law- rence Of Arabia," horror thrills with "Creature From The Black Lagoon," and in "Jezebel," you'll appreciate why Bette Davis, gifted with her own unique acting style, was a genuine movie star.

Then suddenly the screen bursts with color. Astonishing shapes draw your attention as you look at the paintings of Hilma af Klint, the Swedish artist who rejected her begin- nings in the school of natu- ralism and invented – yes, you read that correctly – invented abstract art. She created an entire art move- ment. Not the famous male abstract artists such as Kandinsky or Mondrian or Malevitch. Nor any of the other men who are perma- nent members of the abstract school. Rather, it was a woman born in 1862, who painted or drew more than 1,200 works of abstract art and hid them away so that no one would see them until, by her own request, twenty years after her death in 1944. Kandinsky died the same year. Almost no rela- tives or friends, and no museum personnel, knew what was hidden away in boxes in Sweden until they were opened in the 1960s. Hilma af Klint painted her first abstract series in 1906. She was well-versed in the theory and philosophy of art. Why did she hide her talent? Why the secrecy? The movie, superbly direct- ed by Halina Dyrschka of Germany, explores the dominating ethos of the male-centric art world of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She interviews scholars and gallerists, many of whom never studied af Klint's paintings, or even heard of her, until early exhibitions in the 1980s. In 2018, I saw a show of her fantastic work at the Gug- genheim Museum in New York City. "Beyond The Visible" examines the why and how of Hilma af Klint's genius. The film revels in the power and beauty of her paint- ings. We come away understanding her startling ideas and her concerns. See this movie.
