art films

SINGAPORE SLING ?

Would not call it art film, more like comedy

Parts are humourous but not sure if that is intentional. Compared to what I generally like, it's an art film. Most intersting thing about it is that NO ONE involved with that movie wants to admit it or talk about it!

Some time ago bought 2xDVD box of avantgarde films from 20's to early 50's. Damn. I must say, it may be art, but it has been also tough struggle to go through. And I'm still in pretty early stages.  Sometimes merely the fact that it is old grainy FILM, makes it worthy. Worthy of what, one could ask? Not sure, but lets say that if these were shot on video, I wouldn't even try.

That Kino box thing?

Which one?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

yeah. Kino international, Avantgarde vol 2 - Films from the Raymond Rohauer collection. 2007 release. There was 4 parts, I think, but somehow this looked the most interesting.

[Jordan]

Yeah. I picked it up a few years ago for Traite de Bave et D'Eternite by Isidore Isou , which might be more of a historical curiosity for those interested in the Lettrists and Situationists.

A couple of the Brakhage films were okay, If my memory serves.

The added "modern" soundtracks for the silent features are terrible. Line in recordings of a sampler or something.

SINGAPORE SLING ?

I must admit a big disappointment, although with some interesting parts.

KOYAANISQATSI- great film Mikko and i love the demolition of the underprivleged living buildings, A local theatre here in Melbourne plays this film along with its sequels, which is apparantly the ultimate way to see the film, big sound and big screen
