Spray

1967 • 11 min • United States of America

Chromophonie

1967 • 7 min • France

On a black background, simple luminous figures change shape and follow trajectories. The film was made with the round tube of a 1950s television without scanning; the sinusoidal signals directly controlled the deflection coil, producing Lissajous figures. All the material was tube-powered. The colors were obtained by a disc with six colored sectors which rotated in front of the lens of the Bolex 16mm camera. This material is now in the museum reserves of the Cité des sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris.

Color Film

1967 • 1 min • Austria

In this film the goal of destroying film semantics has been consistently followed though. Part of the film is composed of a seemingly collision of picture and sound. Whilst filming, the colors called out in the sound were really filmed. Because of the "mistakes" made (unfocusing, copying process, color temperature) the colors in the final printing were wrong. The audience is then confronted with these discrepancies. (E.S.jr.)

Hexagrams

1967 • 4 min • United States of America

Hexagrams is a film of surrealistic nature. In the film, all types of images flash quickly on screen. Images include fried eggs, Marlboro cigarette packages, and the American flag. The film continues flashing images in a quick, rhythmic pace and only slows down at three points in the film. The first slow sequence, is in a junkyard where an automobile is being set down by a tow truck. The second sequence is of two females in the nude, chatting, smoking, and eating saltines. The final slow sequence is of a man who appears to stick his tongue out, but as his "tongue" is pulled out further, it becomes apparent it's some sort of pink substance—not his tongue. In this film and in Festival of the Cyclists, Byron re-uses some of the same film scenes to create original content.
