About Galaxie
At the Museum of Modern Art, *Galaxie* (1966) is screened as part of the museum’s ongoing attention to experimental cinema. The film is directed by Gregory J. Markopoulos, an American artist whose work treats editing and duration as expressive material, closer to composition than to plot. Seen in this context, the piece reads as a record of a filmmaker shaping perception itself, not simply images. Specific NYC premiere history is not widely documented, but its placement at MoMA underscores New York’s role in sustaining avant-garde film culture.
