1st Light

Institute History

  • 2007 Sundance Film Festival

Description

In this single-channel installation, a light shines through an "open window" onto the ground, casting a haunting shadow ballet of plunging bodies and rapturous migration toward the heavens. Paul Chan works in a variety of mediums, from video to installation and drawing, and has created numerous and varied animations that delve into the political and the perverse.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
