Amor de Perdição (Amor de Perdição )
Manoel de Oliveira
The third entry in Oliveira’s Tetralogy. Based on the novel by Camilo Castelo Branco. A major innovation is the presentation of story: off-screen narration often running counter to what is shown.
The Anchorage

Arnulf Rainer
Peter Kubelka
What we have here is something like a data compression of Luigi Russolo/Kazimir Malevich/Lászlo Moholy-Nagy/Yves Klein. Behold
B
Black Ixchell Candle Ixchell
Ana Mendieta
A haunting Santerían morsel of mysticism, ritual, and artist-as-subject from the towering Cuban-American.
C
Chansons d’amour (Love Songs)
Jean-Claude Rousseau
Here, Rousseau continues his examination of what is and isn’t worthy of being an image, of being a scene, of being a film. A self-portrait whose very suspense is drawn from the tensions of those questions. A film that dares into the almost-nothing.
L
Looking for Mushrooms
Bruce Conner
A psychedelic travelogue of rural Mexican nature, towns, and religious iconography. A document of a search for psilocybin mushrooms.

P
Picture and Sound Rushes
Morgan Fisher
Film school in 11 minutes. And a high water mark of cinematic self-reflexivity. Morgan gives us the four states of a film: picture with sound, picture with no sound, sound with no picture, and the null set.
R
Rock My Religion
Dan Graham
Cinema without talking about cinema. A non-cinephilia. From an artist who’s used music to inspire everything from video to theater to essays to glass pavillions.
S
Sunset to Sunrise
Dan Graham
Partially inspired by James J. Gibson's The Perception of the Visual World (Boston, 1950). Made by aiming a 16mm camera in a slow spiral across the sky. Unlike the aesthetic overfitting we find in much putatively hallucinatory art, Graham here reduces things to a usefully ...
