Amiel Courtin-Wilson
Metrograph
The cinema of Australian-born filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson, often rooted in real-life encounters with marginalized figures, unspools from his immersion in the lives of his subjects. This is evidenced in his 2016 film, *The Silent Eye*, which is set entirely in the Brooklyn apartment of free jazz pioneer Cecil Taylor, capturing an emotionally powerful, improvised performance between Taylor and longtime collaborator, Japanese Butoh dancer Min Tanaka.
