Étude transectale de la plage

1974 • 10 min

To go from the dunes to the seaside, Gette takes on his explorer's clothes: methodically, with the rigor of the scientist, he approaches by successive leaps, regularly rhythmic, and with each bond observes lengthily. Yet these are not scientific studies, but research in the sensory field using methods that are not usually used.

Ligne continue

1974 • 8 min • Switzerland

Ligne continue is a gliding of lines, which stand out and gently overlap, the one giving way to the others - in the exchange or eventually when the film yields to a visual habit, the line stands out as speed perspective relayed by the recognition of road signs, or the strip of asphalt. A play of lines, play of references, play of the eye maintained by a continuous sonority that adheres or pulls away from the picture.

Peddlin' Safety

Riding a bike is fun, but it is important to learn some safety rules, including hand signals, observance of traffic and riding defensively.

Grace Going Awkwardly

1974 • 15 min

Enough for Today!

1974 • 10 min • Italy

The film expresses the difficulties artists come up against whenever they try out ‘paths’ that are outside the ‘system’. All this is represented through this project and, therefore, through the realisation and use of a tool (Il Commutatore, 1970) with which it is possible, in successive phases, to supersede the physicality of the city and to project oneself towards the ‘void’.

Anima

Alfabet

Moving Still

1974 • 14 min • United States of America

This film is still a close part of me. I don’t think I could make another one like this again. It deals with space on many levels within a single movement, a movement that has a circular form that involves each viewer within the film itself.

Healing Process

1974 • 4 min

HEALING PROCESS depicts the emotional state I was in the year following the death of my father. The images used include footage of my father as a young man, footage of him in the hospital and footage of a figure under a white sheet representing someone prepared to be wheeled off to an operating room. The sound track is the song "Au Clair de la Lune" sung in a duet. The effects is the mixture of emotions one goes through when losing someone very close. – L. K.

Lullaby

1974 • 3 min • Hungary

Andrea Acting Out

1974 • 11 min

"An experimental portrait of the filmmaker's ten year old daughter. Based on footage collected over a two year period, the film explores the inner and outer consciousness of the child and develops the nature of her fantasy life in abstract terms. Although the film deals with the reality of her world as shown by the documentation of sensitive relationships with her animals, it supercedes reality by creating its own rhythms and new images. Her joy and moodiness are contrasted by the superimpositions of color and black and white footage; and we are also aware of the subtle changes that have begun to take place as she matures. The free spirit of the child is revealed by the sound track based on recordings of her favorite music box layered over her interpretive zither playing and the reciting of Andrea's original poetry." - RS
