The viewer first sees the corridor in a long, slow tracking shot while the music--an electronic portamento--rises in pitch and amplitude. At the end of the corridor, the camera pans up stairs into the darkness. At this point, the film begins its permutations, and the sound track becomes a frenzied improvistation over a drone and percussive track. A naked woman appears at the end of the corridor, at times walking towards the camera, at times the camera "walks" towards her. It is as if the corridor is a symbol for the woman's vagina, drawing the camera and the viewer towards her. The filmmaker plays with the image of the corridor, degenerating it through an optical printer: printing it in negative, superimposing it on itself, and other methods. The woman occasionally appears as if a ghost. The film ends in a burst of light and frenzied music, as if the corridor has exploded from its own kinetic energy. 590 PFA 1608-01-3110. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 12 Sept 1992; scratches; leader; Very good condition: continuous scratch on right side of print; lacks head leader CONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 2008/03/12; Good condition; Eastman 7361 B-wind reversal print from 1976; start up damage/repair; linear scratches, both sides; hi- con, grainy; multiple generation frameline (optical) shifts, neg/pos; no splices 590 PFA 1608-01-8307. |aCOPY-SPECIFC DESCRIPTION: 1 reel of 1 (805 ft.)
