7th House, the in-house film programming imprint of the Philosophical Research Society, returns to 2220 Arts + Archives with a rare presentation of filmmaker E. Elias Merhige’s complete Begotten Cycle. The program features the new 4K restoration of his 1989 feature Begotten, followed by Din of Celestial Birds from 2006 and Polia & Blastema: A Cosmic Opera from 2022. The total running time is 126 minutes and the screening includes an intermission. Composer and sound designer Gavin Gamboa will appear in person to discuss his work on Polia & Blastema. Spanning more than three decades, this trilogy charts a mythic arc in which deities come into being and are undone, treating cinema as an alchemical practice that turns light into substance. It is believed to be the first time the complete Begotten Cycle has been presented in Los Angeles. Begotten has been championed by prominent critics as a major work of modern cinema and as a profoundly unsettling vision. Its wordless creation story unfolds through stark, ritualized imagery shaped by Merhige’s distinctive photographic process. Shot on black-and-white 16mm reversal stock and then rephotographed frame by frame through neutral density filters, the undertaking stretched across four years and required roughly ten hours of labor for each finished minute. After early rebuffs from conventional distributors, the film built a following through a remarkable chain of advocates, from a VHS viewed by Pacific Film Archive director Edith Kramer to support from Susan Sontag, leading to a sold-out MoMA screening, a Film Forum engagement, and placement on TIME’s list of the ten best films of 1991. The new 4K restoration reveals the full intensity of the imagery, with weightier blacks, striking whites, and grain rendered as a living texture. Din of Celestial Birds revisits this cosmology in a short that premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, combining analog and digital techniques to traverse the violent birth of matter, the evolution of life, and the emergence of consciousness. Polia & Blastema completes the cycle as a cinematic opera, pairing Merhige’s libretto with original music and sound by Gavin Gamboa. Rooted in a Gnostic creation myth of two beings separated across time and space and drawn toward reunion, it explores collisions of organic and inorganic matter, decay, and supernatural horror, drawing on Viennese Actionism and philosopher Eugene Thacker’s idea of a world that exists beyond us.
