A series of papers flutter in the wind in this short film by Hollis Frampton.

"I have not changed the editing structure. I have made the films printable. They are the first known fully collaged films, i.e., films made from found footage, and were done sometime in the ‘40s. Cornell combines Vaudeville jugglers, animal acts, circus performers, children eating and dancing, science demonstrations, mythical excerpts, and crucial freeze-frames of faces into a timeless structure, totally unconcerned with our usual expectations of “montage” or cinematic progression. He collects images and preserves them in some kind of cinematic suspension that is hard – impossible – to describe. But it’s a delight to anyone whose soul has not been squashed by the heavy dictates of Art." —Larry Jordan

In GLORIA! Frampton juxtaposes nineteenth-century concerns with contemporary forms through the interfacing of a work of early cinema with a videographic display of textual material. These two formal components (the film and the texts) in turn relate to a nineteenth-century figure, Frampton's maternal grandmother, and to a twentieth-century one, her grandson (filmmaker Frampton himself). In attempting to recapture their relationship, GLORIA! becomes a somewhat comic, often touching meditation on death, on memory and on the power of image, music and text to resurrect the past.

Веселая сюрреалистическая сатира Боба Годфри. Мультфильм высмеивает общественные запреты в отношении секса и взаимоотношений мужчины и женщины. Сюжет фильма «Кама Сутра…» рассказывает о сексуальных подвигах немолодой пары Стэнли и Этель. Супруги идут на все, чтобы разнообразить свою интимную жизнь. Стэнли ищет новизны и является движущей силой в паре. Между тем Этель ничего не остается, как терпеть проделки мужа и соглашаться на предложенные эксперименты, зачастую опасные. Бесстрастная и сдержанная британская мужественность противопоставляется диковинной и экстремальной сексуальной практике Кама-Сутры.

London to Brighton in 4 minutes BBC interlude. From the days when TV was all live and programming was hectic. Often when one program finished, the next one was not ready yet, and the gap had to be filled. So the BBC developed a number of interludes to fill these gaps, this being the most famous one.
