During the mid-Fifties he worked with Joseph Cornell on "The Aviary", "Nymphlight", "A Fable For Fountains", and "What Mozart Saw On Mulberry Street".〔http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-rudy-burckhardt-1112344.html〕 He taught filmmaking and painting at the University of Pennsylvania from 1967 to 1975.
