Last night attended a screening of Peter Kass's Time Of The Heathen, a 1961 independent film lost after its initial release and now making the roadshow circuit in a 4k restoration. Starting off as a rehash of a southern gothic like Night Of The Hunter, it spins off into a different direction during its final act, seguing from B&W to color in a Brakhage-esque flurry of film strip paintings and archival war footage. The proto-noise soundtrack during this sequence is extremely pleasing to listen to in a theater environment, a sine wave building and escalating in its last moments. Highly recommend catching this if it hits a cinema near you.
