The first two sequences are so much alike that I have little doubt they were once part of the same finished film. They show scenes basically composed of concentric circular, spiral and radiating patterns moving in such ways that they produce optical illusions of great depth leading off into an eternally distant vanishing point. The editing, like that of STAFFS, contains some two frame intercutting, but primarily concentrates on clever alternations of sequences which suggest point-of-view of a first person camera, as in the superimposition of static dark circles over the dizzying whirlpool to create the feeling that the spectator is actually flying into some infinite vortex. This powerful sequence is a worthy predecessor to the magnificent vortex-eye of RADIO DYNAMICS" - Dr. William Moritz, Film Culture 538 VHS NTSC. 590 PFA 0500-01-11440. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2007/08 /23 excellent condition. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Animation.|2mim 690 0 German films. 700 1 Fischinger, Oskar,|d1900-1967. 830 0 Contemplative films ;|vFI-VI reel 1. 935 GLADN17592897 941 0 PFA 0500-01-11440. preview tape 2001/01/22 946 PFA 0500-01-11440.
