Sinopsis
A short film spelling Tokyo in hiragana.
In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex? The camera records distractions - a woman rides horseback past them; a garrulous homeless vet who sleeps in the park chats them up. What's the nature of making a movie?
Narración onírica en la que una mujer, interpretada por Deren, se baña en una playa y se va en un viaje extraño en el que se encontrará con otras personas y otras versiones de sí misma. Deren dijo una vez que "la película es acerca de la lucha por mantener la identidad personal". El compositor John Cage y el poeta y crítico de cine Parker Tyler estuvieron involucrados en el rodaje y aparecen en el corto, que fue rodado en Amagansett, Long Island.

En 1971, en plena resaca del Mayo del 68, el cineasta yugoslavo Dusan Makavejev se convierte en el artista escandaloso del momento con esta especie de falso documental sobre sexo y política, en el que se combinan noticiarios, entrevistas, ficción y ocurrencias surrealistas varias. El guión, apenas esbozado, gira en torno a la vida y obra del psiquiatra austriaco Wilhelm Reich, descubridor de la energía orgásmica, y a las peripecias de dos jovencitas comunistas con muchas ganas de experimentar con sus respectivos y pimpantes cuerpos. Todo ello mezclado con imágenes manipuladas de Stalin, escenas de sexo explícito e incluso una sesión de electroshock real. (FILMAFFINITY)

Estructurada en tres partes (Creación, Paraíso y La era dorada) y rodada en el desierto del Sahara, esta es sin duda la película menos convencional del director alemán. Sin argumento ni guión determinado, Herzog nos regala una serie de imágenes, palabras y música que funcionan conjuntamente dando un resultado singular. La sensación resultante viene reforzada por una banda sonora con temas de Leonard Cohen, Mozart o la Third Ear Band

A spiral design spins. It's replaced by a spinning disk. These two continue in perfect alternation until the end: a spiral design, a disk. Each disk is labelled and can be read as it rotates. The messages, in French, feature puns and whimsical rhymes and alliteration. The final message comments on the spiral motif itself.

A Japanese fairy tale meets commedia dell'Arte. All in white, the naïf Pierrot lies in a wood. Doo-wop music plays as he rises, stares about, and reaches for the moon. Although music abounds and the children of the wood are there at play, Pierrot is melancholy and alone. Harlequin appears, brimming with confidence and energy. He conjures the lovely Colombina. Pierrot is dazzled. But can the course of true love run smooth?
Filmed in France in 1950, it was not completed nor released until 1971
Monteiro moved far away from the visual opulence defined by his earlier films with his inspired adaptation of radical Swiss writer Robert Walser’s anti-fairy tale. Carefully restricting the image track, Monteiro maintains an almost totally black screen in order to focus instead on the voices of Snow White, the Prince, the Queen and the Hunter, engaged in an extended debate about love, free will and the events leading up to the fateful attempt on the maiden’s life. Despite its visual austerity, Snow White is haunted by the arresting images with which it begins – infamous black-and-white photographs of Walser lying dead in the snow after his heart attack outside a Swiss asylum at the age of seventy-eight, a strange realization of the “death of the author” so central to postmodern literary criticism.
