520 “Originally this film by Peter Kubelka was commissioned
as a commercial for Schwechater Beer. Kubelka, believing
that his cinema lies not in photography but in editing,
photographed it with a camera that had no viewfinder,
pointing the camera in the general direction of the actors
to please the executives who were present during the
shooting. He then edited the footage into what may be the
most intense single minute of cinema in existence. A
variety of metric principles were used in cutting between
several different kinds of footage, in deciding on shot-
lengths, in deciding when to use color and sound, but the
film is so complex that these cannot be readily divined by
the viewer. What one senses instead is an organization
based on patterns of repetition and variation whose
complexity approaches that of the patterns in nature - the
movement of water in a stream or of leaves on a tree -
that Kubelka studied in connection with this work.”--Fred
Camper, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
