The Foundation for Art in Cinema CINEMATHEQUE The regular Bay Area showcase for personal and avant-garde film. March 3U. 1985 DIRECT ANIMATION A 'hands-on' approach to filmmaking **** Curated by Stephanie Maxwell Program: Hand-Coloured Films (15 mins, silent) by Path! Freres. Circa 1904-1910. A collection o f rare early Pathe Freres historical trick films all hand painted. Retour a la Raison (Return to Reason) — (4 mins?, silent) bv Man Ray. 1923. Man Rav was one o£ the leaders of the American Dada movement in the early 1900's. Retour a la Raison, an ironic title for a film whose intention was the direct opposite in the Dadaist style of 'conscious attack on nublic sen- sibility', combines both photography and the techniaues of t-he 'rayogram'. This techniq"e involves th* 1 layinp of objects (nails, springs, dust, etc.) onto film and exposing it to lieht. This film is one of th*> earliest examples of film which draws attention to the material nature of the film itself and the images on it as a photochemical reality. Rainbow Dance (6 mins, sound) bv Len Lye. 1936. Len Lye is a key figure in the development of 'direct' filmmakine because he made his own separate discovery of the process and developed it with so much imagination and thoroughness that once and for all he opened this area of film- making for others to follow. Lye's first direct film Colour Box (1935) was made entirely of inscribed (scratched, nainted, drawn...) desiens dnne directly on the fiTm itself. Rainbow Dance follows in this tradition, but this time Lye experiments with live action material by maniDulating the three color matrices of the Gasparcolor and Technicolor processes in color film production.
