"A voyage into red cabbage and shells. Shells transform themselves into orange canyons. Cabbage as the universe! A painter's film. Soundtrack: the sound of the sculptures of the Baschet brothers." - RS

Influenced by the early theories of Sergei Eisenstein (1898–1948), in Needle at Sea Bottom I sought to create and implied time and space not found in either of the component images…the power of still awareness is literally depicted…. The film’s title is taken from the name of a specific named movement in the Tai Chi Chuan.

On the first and third Saturday of each month, Master Choy Kam-man has a club meeting with all of his students who have completed at least one course in Tai Chi Chuan. Together, the students practice their form and Master Choy helps them to correct their movements….

I planned the Divine Comprehension to be my magnum opus however, although it is complete, I never considered it finished. As in PROOF (and, in part, several other of my films) I dispensed with the narrative, creating sequence and short scenes that capture unexpressed emotions or feelings; an unanswered telephone call, the 1,000 Year Old Chinese Egg, fighting hamsters, a fish head floats by in a pristine stream, all tried together with reoccurring motifs. One such sequence includes the victims of the 1904 Slocum Disaster, the reclaiming of their bodies and the funeral service at their church - which is still stands today - all of which were captured in vintage Edison ‘Newsreel“ footage,.

Chester Grimes, made in 1971 by Herb Di Gioia and his partner, the late David Hancock, has not been available for public viewing in years. It tells the story of a 70-year-old logger who still worked in northern Vermont at that advanced age with his team of horses. Di Gioia, who lives in Sutton, Vt. and is well known in the world of film documentary and ethnography, pioneered “observational cinema” by focusing on exploring the lives of ordinary people.

Consisting basically of home movie footage of family, relatives, and myself during the mid-1940's I have included loops of certain sequences and actions that have attracted me. Invariably people find HOMECALL a very warm film; however, upon closer scrutiny quite another facet is visible. –D. D.

Filmed in16mm black and white in 1970 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Pamela and Ian is a bisexual love story that explores an idea suggested by Alain Robbe-Grillet that characters in a film are born in the beginning and die in the end and have no existence outside of the film.

The executioner binds a prisoner at the stake. He lights a match and the prisoner spits on it and puts it out. But the fire is lit with the second match. The prisoner puts his hands together and prays for the rain. Rain begins to fall. Falling, falling, falling, and water drowned the convict — good luck, bad luck — they all come quickly.

originally made in 1971 on Standard 8 mm film, silent / digitally revisited and edited further in 2016

Sharon Green's short film Self Portrait of a Nude Model Turned Cinematographer (1971) represents a collision of incipient cinefeminism and autobiographical filmmaking. Containing a blend of still photographs and subjective moving-image shots of her body, the work has largely been overlooked because of a reductive framing of it as mere homage to male avant-garde artists such as Stan Brakhage, for whom Green was a nude model.

A televised film of Peter Stein's landmark 1971 production of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, staged at the Schaubühne. The staging, produced for broadcast by NDR Fernsehen, saw five actors (including Bruno Ganz) portraying Gynt over the two-evening, five-hour performance.
