Summary: WE CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN: “You can only learn filmmaking by making films” and that’s what Nicholas Ray’s students at Harpur College did for two years, rotating technical assignments and improvising a story line with their director/teacher/star. Conceived as a teaching tool by Ray and his wife Susan, this avant garde and “multi-narrative” film utilizes three, four, or five moving images simultaneously. Shelved and virtually unseen for over 30 years, Susan Ray, wife of the director, in collaboration with the Venice Film Festival, has completely edited and restored it as the director intended, in time for Nick’s centennial year.
