9/64 O Christmas Tree

Synopsis: In 9/64 O Christmas Tree Kren offers a more visually descriptive development of a Muehl “action”. The images have been chosen to follow a more dramatic sequence, probably because the action itself contained a wide range of images and materials. (From Six Pack Film.)

Breathdeath

Synopsis: Dedicated to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. A surrealistic fantasy based on the 15th century woodcuts of the dance of the dead.

A film experiment that deals with the photoreality and the surrealism of life. It is a collage-animation that cuts up photos and newsreel film and reassembles them, producing an image that is a mixture of unexplainable fact (Why is Harpo Marx playing a harp in the middle of a battlefield?) with the inexplicable act (Why is there a battlefield?). It is a black comedy, a fantasy that mocks at death … a parabolic parable. (From Canyon Cinema.)

Dog Star Man

Synopsis: A man, along with his canine companion, climbs a mountain during the four seasons and ponders his position in the universe.

Scorpio Rising

Synopsis: A “high” view of the Myth of the American Motorcyclist. The machine as totem, from toy to terror. Thanatos in chrome and black leather. Part I - Boys & Bolts. Part II - Image Maker. Part III - Walpurgis Party. Part IV - Rebel Rouser. (from Canyon Cinema)
