One of the most important of the early American Avant Garde films, it also happens to be one of the best examples of why I think much of the Avant Garde goes hand-in-hand with Fantasy.

Registry - Teen Films of the late 1990s and Early 2000s

I take a look at what the Registry should start looking at when it comes time to seriously dig into the early 21st Century film by looking at Teen Films. I discuss She's All That, American Pie, Scream, O, and more in an attempt to pull out what they meant, where they took film, and why I think there are several that deserve inclusion on the National Film Registry!

Registry - The Graphics of 1961 - Belson's Allures & Whitney's Catalog

6/6/2017

0 Comments

A look at two of the most important pieces in a very important year for Graphics in Film. Allures, on the Registry, was a major influence on the evolution of Film as experience and would play for years in the Psychedelia world. Catalog, a demo reel with amazing artistry that is not-yet recognised, influenced what people would put on screens for decades. These two films taken together give an impressive look at the state-of-the-art in 1961!
