This is the first screening of a 35mm print in New York since the film's 
premiere in 1992. John Cage created his only feature length film in the 
year he died. A sublime performance for camera person and light, One11 
is a film without subject, actors or things. The final impression is of 
another, timeless place - freely roaming the clouds or, perhaps, under 
the sea. Chance operations were used with respect to the lighting, 
camera shots and the editing of the film. The orchestral work 103 
musically accompanies One11, a different orchestral soundtrack will be 
used for each screening.

"One11 and 103 is very strong, very daring, and finally completely 
mesmerizing"
- Louis Malle, 1992

"It's quite simply one of Cage's great works, and one of the most 
complex and time-consuming to realise, though as usual the basic idea 
was remarkably simple: use I-Ching generated chance procedures to 
determine the placement, angle of projection and intensity of 168 lights 
in an empty television studio and provide the solo cameraman with a 
similarly calculated score defining camera movements... Shot entirely in 
35mm black and white, One11 consists of predominantly slow pans across 
the blank wall of the studio, illuminated by soft oval patches of light 
of varying intensity that drift across the screen like clouds. It's a 
remarkably beautiful experience in conjunction with the rich sustained 
chords and occasional spiky twangs of 103..."
- Dan Warburton, ParisTransatlantic Online Review, January 2007
