Glimpse Back: Bruce Bickford  

0 comments

Bruce Bickford, who is best known for his collaborations with Frank Zappa in the 1970s, is an international cult figure who has influenced generations of animators while somehow eluding mainstream notoriety. Here is the trailer to Prometheus' Garden (28 min, 1988) which is the only completed film over which Bruce Bickford maintained 100% creative control.

0 comments

If you're not familiar with Bad Brains then shame on you; so here's the time to get aquainted. Below are three videos from when they played at New York City's late-CBGB. The first video is of them performing 'Pay to Cum' and the last two are of 'Banned in DC' and 'Big Takeover' from 1982. Watch the crowd go wild!! One of Rive's best glimpse back entries.

Film: At Land  

0 comments

Maya Deren's second experimental film, At Land (1944), reinforces her interest in the juxtaposition of anachronistic spaces and introduces a critique of social rituals. This film begins by reversing the natural rhythm with images of waves breaking and descending back into the sea. Starring again, Deren is seen climbing up a dead tree trunk on the beach, magically emerging onto a table where a formal dinner party is in progress. This 'civilized' world ignores Deren as she crawls along their dinner table. By depicting herself as invisible to the diners, Deren highlights the myopia of the guests. The dinner sequence in At Land ends with an enchanted chess game. A pawn falls from the table and descends back into the dead wood on the beach, it falls over rocks, into the water and is washed away over the waterfalls. Chasing the pawn, Deren is restored to her original landscape. - Wendy Haslem

Art: Short Films By David Lynch  

1 comments

David Lynch`s very first short film, Six Figures Getting Sick (aka Six Times) in 1966. Lynch made this film during his second year at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art


David Lynch's second short film, The Alphabet, shot in 1968 which featured his then wife, Peggy Lynch.


The Amputee, made in 1974 for the American Film Institute while Eraserhead was in financial limbo. The AFI was testing two different stocks of black and white video and enlisted Frederick Elmes to test each one. Lynch asked Elmes if he could shoot something with this stock and so he and Catherine Coulson stayed up all night writing a script. The result was a one shot scene with Catherine Coulson about a woman attempting to write a letter while a female nurse (played by Lynch) tends to her leg stumps.
