Stan Vanderbeek Blacks & Whites, Days & Nights
(1960) 16mm, black and white, sound, 5 min Genre: Experimental "A 'drawn' film, with images that are constantly changing, drawings of landscapes that keep escaping, traces of faces, everything is almost what it is but never stays that way. The soundtrack punches out a wild monotone of dirty, nonsense limericks to the accompaniment of hand-drawn images related only in their complementary rhythm." -- David Holmstrom Rental: $20.00 |
Stan Vanderbeek Breathdeath
(1964) 16mm, black and white, sound, 15 min Genre: Experimental Dedicated to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. A surrealistic fantasy based on the 15th century woodcuts of the dance of the dead. A film experiment that deals with the photoreality and the surrealism of life. It is a collage-animation that cuts up photos and newsreel film and reassembles them, producing an image that is a mixture of unexplainable fact (Why is Harpo Marx playing a harp in the middle of a battlefield?) with the inexplicable act (Why is there a battlefield?). It is a black comedy, a fantasy that mocks at death ... a parabolic parable. Awards: Bell Telephone Prize; Third Experimental Film Competition, Knokke-le-Zoute, Belgium, 1964; Midwest Film Festival, 1964; Ann Arbor Film Festival, 1964. Rental: $30.00 |

Stan Vanderbeek Film Form No. 1
(1970) 16mm, color, sound, 10 min Genre: Experimental Keywords: Dance "A hypnotic dance film of colors, dancers, forms and music all sweeping through the tv tube eye, mixed together into a flow of female bodies and colors, a brilliant study of color printing from black and white. " S.V.
"The mysterious, gracefully repeated dancer of Stan Vanderbeek's Film Form No. 1 puts the video film in a perspective that makes the mere ordering of space for a few minutes seem reason enough for the whole perilous business of reducing time and movement to anything so substantial as film or tape." Roger Greenspun Rental: $20.00" |
