Special Contributors
Nathaniel Dorsky, Editor and Cinematographer
Dorsky's documentary editorial credits include The Spirit of Crazy Horse, What Happened to Kerouac, and The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg. Dorsky is also a noted avant-garde filmmaker in his own right. Besides editing Night Waltz he contributed the footage to accompany Bowels' music for the Paris and Oaxaca sequences.
Rudy Burckhardt, Cinematographer and Still Photographer
Burckhardt is one of America's original independent filmmakers. He has made over 100 films, all of which he shot and edited himself. Burckhardt's interest in Night Waltz resulted in his donating still photographs and three of his most noted films to accompany Paul Bowles's music in the New York City sequence: Up and Down the Waterfront (1946), The Climate of New York (1948), and Under the Brooklyn Bridge (1953).
Eos OrchestraEos was founded in 1995 when Artistic Director Jonathan Sheffer invited Paul Bowles to return to the U.S. for a festival of Bowles's then unknown music at Lincoln Center. The Eos Orchestra seeks to re-imagine the live music experience with a focus on re-discovery of important neglected works and composers and the stimulation visual presentation of its carefully curated concert programs.
