Distilled in 1996 from an earlier 50-minute trilogy, this 26-minute film was shot in Greece and Austria and structured around two recurring intertitles, “He said” and “he said.” Each introduces delicate studies of light and place—hotel interiors, cafés, hillsides, storefronts, and street life—framed in parallel variations. The title invokes Apollo as savior and healer.

My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure

My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure is a film cycle by Robert Beavers, developed between 1968 and 2002. Rather than a single compiled film, it consists of individual works that Beavers continually re-edited and re-contextualized, shaping them into a larger cycle presented under this title. The phrase itself may sound like a poetic riddle, yet its meaning becomes clear in the experience of seeing and hearing the films. While sometimes treated as one work in retrospectives and museum programs, My Hand Outstretched… is best understood as a collection of interconnected films, not a singular release.
