Synopsis

« Early Monthly Segments, tourné quand Beavers avait 18 et 19 ans, forme maintenant l’ouverture de son cycle de films My Hand Outstreched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure. C’est un travail hautement stylistique d’autoportrait, qui dépeint le cinéaste et son compagnon Gregory J. Markopoulos dans leur appartement suisse. Le film fonctionne comme un journal, capturant les aspects de la vie domestique avec une attention précise portée au détail, documentant le familier avec beaucoup d’amour et transformant les effets personnels ordinaires en des pièces fortement chargées d’homoérotisme. » Susan Oxtoby, Toronto International Film Festival

Early Monthly Segments, filmed when Beavers was 18 and 19 years old, now forms the opening to his film cycle, My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure. It is a highly stylized work of self-portraiture, depicting filmmaker and companion Gregory J. Markopoulos in their Swiss apartment. The film functions as a diary, capturing aspects of home life with precise attention to detail, documenting the familiar with great love and transforming objects and ordinary personal effects into a highly charged work of homoeroticism.” Susan Oxtoby, Toronto International Film Festival
