Hapax Legomena: Pt. 01 - Nostalgia
Hollis Frampton, USA
Black and White, 36 minutes, 1971
The first of seven parts in a serial film, each isolating a fundamental aspect of the ontology of cinema. The title, Hapax Legomena, is from classical philology and refers to words whose sense is ambiguous because they occur only once in surviving texts : their meaning can only be determined from context.of systematic displacements between language (the narration which is spoken by Michael Snow) and image, between flatness and depth, between stillness and motion.
The Girl Chewing Gum
John Smith, UK
Black and White, 12 minutes, 1976
Representation and description turn into phantasm through the determining power of language.
Charlemagne 2: Piltzer
Pip Chodorov, France
Color, 22 minutes, 2002
“On December 9, 1998, Charlemagne asked me to bring friends to his piano concert at an opening at the Gerard Piltzer gallery in Paris, and to bring a movie camera.” (To create the finished film, and) “following a precise notation of the concert music, I chose the following principles: the 6945 notes played in the concert correspond to 6923 frames of super-8 film that were shot; speed of playing controls speed of frame succession; flicker between negative and positive, between opposites on color wheel (blue/yellow), between opposites in retinal cone sensitivities (red/green), left/right screen masking and mirror image printing, crossfading between negative and positive images; When more than two notes are played, the additional colors correspond to the complexity of sound frequencies. The final result is at once a diary film, a document of the concert, a structural flicker film, a hand-processed film, a graphic representation of music, and an attempt to apply cognitive principles in sensation and perception to film art.”

Mix 1 and 2
Roxlee, Philippines
B&W and Color, 5 min, 1988-1990
Visions of daily life in Manila are overlaid with translucent layers suggesting origin myths, sexual psychosis, post-colonial anxiety and more. These multiple experimental animations are matched with instant sound compositions featuring the filmmaker’s improvised songs. Naive, energetic and slightly deranged.
