Access by appt. only.|5CBPF 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 program note. 541 0 |3PFA 1604-01-16767. |aD0104 |cdonation |d 6/25/2014 |5CBPF 590 PFA 1604-01-16767.|aEdge code: Ektachrome 1969|aCONDITION NOTE: 2014/07/07 sb; faded Ektachrome stock; some moderate wear 650 0 Beer. 655 7 Short films.|2lcgft 655 7 Experimental films.|2lcgft 655 7 Television commercials.|2lcgft 690 Austrian films. 700 1 Kubelka, Peter,|efilmmaker. 956 20160317 |bpfmcq|cCO 957 OCLC xref loaded 20160327 994 C0|bCUY
