I just sent an email to anagramcinema@verizon.net and got a Failure Notice.
Where can i see all these films?
For the Birds
Keith Sanborn/USA 2000/8m/DV
Inspired by the 11th century Sufi mystical text ŒThe Conference of the
Birds¹, which explores transparency and opacity, multiplicity and unity,
narrative and insight, the mundane and the ecstatic.
Brian Frye Tells the Legend of Robert Beck
Bradley Eros & Brian Frye/USA 2002/3m/DV
The story that begat our cinema, with appropriate fanfare.
Sanitarium Cinema
Bradley Eros & Marie Losier/USA-France 2002/7m/DV
The legend of the Wilfully Obscure as hallucinated fable.
Wormwood¹s Dog & Monkey Show
Brian Frye/USA 2001/12m/16mm
ŒQuis cutodiet ipsos custodes? My version of watching the detectives, or
playing the reporter at the scene of the crime. Or perhaps just an
approximation of habeas corpus?¹
Micromoth
Julie Murray/Ireland-USA 2000/6m/16mm
Trawling the spaces shaped by small dead things among many chambers
somewhere between the naked eye and the mansions of molecules.
Light Point
Kenji Onisihi/Japan 2001/9m/Super-8
Exquisite heliotropic fixation, hypnotised by solar-eyes through surges of
billowy clouds.
observando el cielo
Jeanne Liotta/USA 2002/3m/16mm
A starry camera roll. Sometimes 2 1/2 minutes actually equals a year.
Aurora Borealis
Bradley Eros/USA 2002/7m/16mm
Where the lunar moth emerges from industrial rubber & the Milky Way is spun
from spider's silk. An homage to Joseph Cornell.
Bubble Dance
Unknown/USA c.1939/3m/16mm
Sally¹s Rand¹s lighter-than-air dance of the ridiculous & the sublime. The
scandal of the Chicago World¹s Fair, 1933.
Medalla
F.P. Boue¹/Switzerland-USA 2002/3m/Super-8
Documenting a performance by David Medalla, inspired by Genet¹s Un Chant
d¹Amour. Condensed occurrences of the erotic and the sacred within one Super
8 roll.
Reflex
Glen Fogel/USA 1999/4m/16mm
Fractured images, accompanied by a pulsation, create an erotic,
claustrophobic space. A veiled Narcissus appears, blurring the internal and
external, the intimate, and the invasive.
Endless Obsession
Glen Fogel/USA 2000/5m/16mm
Through extraction and re-editing, an erotic tension emerges between the
young males in Pasolini¹s Salo, creating an ambiguous and rhythmic narrative
for the desires of the viewer.
Radiant Flesh
Bradley Eros & Jeanne Liotta/USA 1990/9m/16mm
ŒThe golden section¹ of the expanded fungus eroticus film, where the
undulating textures of skin, decay, and regeneration merge. ŒA fermented
vision, both sensual and disturbing, raw and lysergic.¹
"Triple your pleasure"
Anonymous/USA 1940s/2m/16mm
A gift. Found in the trash Š but bubbling with more joy than dirt.
Robert Beck is Alive and Well and Living in New York City
Lee Ellickson & Brian Frye/USA 2000/3m/16mm
The late Stuart Sherman performs an homage to our patron saint, and (once
revived) enacts an even more opaque ritual.
Conterfeit Music Video #10: Clearing
Robert Attanasio/USA 2000/4m/DV
By resisting a literal depiction of the song¹s narrative, Clearing suggests
that the ideal music video may be imageless. It allows the viewer to
experience the music with a minimum of visual distraction, and, in asserting
this belief, just barely avoids eliminating itself.
F.P. Boue¹/Switzerland-USA 1998/7m
Traces of simultaneous construction and demolition observed under a
monumental bridge over many days, under many lights. Projected presence and
absence of tectonic entities and floating layers: recurring solid black
intervals give way to rhythms built in the image.
Super-8 vertical double projection
Control Sequences
Glen Fogel/USA 2000/6m
The camera is not so much an eye but a strong hand guiding us through its
own desire. The once familiar landmarks and contours of the body are
confused through intense close-up and the layering of plastic and water,
film and video.
Superimposed 16mm and video projection
Ascension
Glen Fogel/USA 2001/6m
Taken from 3 weeks recordings of ŒThe Price is Right¹, the film explores the
intense emotional transformation of game show contestants, a joy so extreme
that it crosses the line between pleasure and pain, euphoria and sadness.
16mm projection and filtered light
Solar Anus
Bradley Eros/USA 2001/6m
A porn-iconoclastic double pink, in a cosmological labyrinth, anointed by an
amorous frenzy. Layers found and unbound, from sex to science to surgery, of
the ocular, oneric, and obscene. Inspired by Bataille¹s circulatory text.
Adjacent and superimposed double 16mm projection performance
Osmosis
Bradley Eros/USA 1972-2002/10m
Oscillating Simultaneous Memories Of Sensuality's Intimate Spectrum. The
elemental, the ephemeral, & the constructed in a process of absorption and
diffusion.
Triple screen 16mm projection
Claire and Don in Slumberland
Zoe Beloff/Scotland-USA 2002/30m
ŒClaire and Don traffics in the phantasmal, the monstrous, and the home
movie in its journey into the unconscious. It began with a discovery of
Pleasure Beach near Bridgeport Connecticut, a quiet stretch of shoreline, a
cluster of candy coloured houses in the shadow of two giant radio towers and
beyond them, the Polka Dot Theater. All abandoned and overgrown. I imagined
characters whose particular sensitive mental state would allow them to hear
sounds inaudible to our waking ears, sounds that still, in some unknown
wavelength, reverberated from the radio towers, sounds of other vanished
inhabitants of this world.¹
