Cassis

"I was visiting Jerome Hill. Jerome loved France, especially Provence. He spent all his summers in Cassis. My window overlooked the sea. I sat in my little room, reading or writing, and looked at the sea. I decided to place my Bolex exactly at the angle of light as what Signac saw from his studio which was just behind where I was staying, and film the view from morning till after sunset, frame by frame. One day of the Cassis port filmed in one shot." -JM

The images are interesting enough, probably more so to those not familiar with cinema history. The sequences show examples of trick effects, shots from the first horror films, depiction of communication (flicking dates, etc). However the images are accompanied by irrelevant and intrusive electronic noise and the film is more readily appreciated once the noise is turned off (not easy to do in the cinema).

Austrian director Gustav Deutsch is again working with found footage in this sequel to his 1998 "Film ist.1-6". Both works succeed in constructing a visual history of cinematography by re-sampling common film-motives. Deutsch's works are not only meticulously assembled (using different European film-archives as resources) and structured, but also show a lot of humor in the way they are edited.
