Jon Jost
JON JOST has made some 20 shorts and 16 feature films over the course of his more than three decade career, and has carved for himself an estimable reputation as a director who is fiercely independent. Since completing his first feature film, SPEAKING DIRECTLY, in 1974, his work has focused largely on specifically American topics in forms ranging from essays, to essay-fictions, to avant-garde and new narrative forms, such as FRAME UP, ALL THE VERMEERS IN NEW YORK, THE BED YOU SLEEP IN, and LAST CHANCE FOR A SLOW DANCE. His work has shown widely in museums, film archives, and festivals including a major retrospective at MOMA.
