Director: Ernie Gehr

Starring: N/A

Year: 1970

Runtime: 23 mins.

Synopsis: “A literal ‘Shock Corridor’ wherein Gehr creates a stunning head-on motion by systematically shifting focal lengths on a static zoom lens as it stares down the center of an empty, modernistic hallway. Without ever having to move the camera, Gehr turns the fluorescent geometry of his institutional corridor into a sort of piston-powered mandala. If Giotto had made action films, they would have been these.” – J. Hoberman, The Village Voice (From Canyon Cinema)

Director: Hollis Frampton

Starring: Not Applicable

Year: 1970

Runtime: 60 mins.

Synopsis: “Frampton’s film is an exercise in mathematical logic in cinema. Or is it a mechanical logic?… It’s about alphabet. It’s about the unities of similarities. It’s about sameness in a confusion. It’s about logic in chance. Its about structure and logic. It’s about rhythm. (Jonas Mekas, Village Voice via Filmmakers’ Co-op.)
