Ornette: Made in America
United States | 1985 | Shirley Clarke
Saxophonist and free jazz legend Ornette Coleman, who died in June, was the subject of the final feature film by pioneering American independent filmmaker Shirley Clarke (Portrait of Jason, The Connection). Clarke follows Coleman as he returns to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, in 1983, then tries to approximate his music with a free-flowing blend of interviews, performance footage, experimental music videos, and historical reenactments. With William S. Burroughs, Buckminster Fuller, Yoko Ono, Robert Palmer, et al. Ornette: Made in America has been restored and brought back to theaters as part of “Project Shirley,” an initiative of Milestone Film and Video to restore and rerelease all the films of Shirley Clarke. On Saturday night the cofounders and principals of Milestone, Amy Heller and Dennis Doros, will be present to discuss Clarke and their new restorations.
