CLASS NOTES
Mark Lipman presented two film exhibits in early 2023 at The Museum of Northern California Art in Chico, California. Urban Owl ran from January 26 to March 19. Filmed over a six-month period during the Covid lockdown, Urban Owl follows the growth of three great horned owlets high in a eucalyptus tree in a San Francisco park where the adults have nested for many years. Almost simultaneously, Refuge is a sunrise-to-sunset portrait filmed over three years in the Gray Lodge Wildlife area — a beautiful sanctuary in California’s Central Valley where hundreds of thousands of migrating birds spend the winter. Refuge unfolds slowly without music or narration, offering an opportunity to sink deeply into the experience of birds, water, mountains, trees, and grasses. It can be viewed as a narrative piece, a visual meditation, or a sound poem.
