- DirectorKenneth AngerStarsYvonne MarquisA soundtrack plays folk rock as a woman prepares, at noon, to take her Borzois for a walk. She goes through her dresses, all 1920s style flapper gowns, holding them one at a time, shaking them as if they are dancing. She picks one - in puce. She puts it on, delighted, adds perfume, languishes on a chaise for a few minutes, then goes for her walk. It all has a 20s feel.THE FILMS OF KENNETH ANGER

- DirectorStan BrakhageStarsA. AustinRobert BensonYvonne FairFour young men and a young woman sit in boredom. She smokes while one strums a lute, one looks at a magazine, and two fiddle with string. The door opens and in comes a young man, cigarette between his lips, a swagger on his face. The young woman laughs. As the four young men continue disconnected activities, the other two become a couple. When the four realize something has changed, first they stare at the couple who have kissed and now are dancing slowly. The four run from the house in a kind of frenzy and return to stare. The power of sex has unnerved them.BY BRAKHAGE: AN ANTHOLOGY CRITERION COLLECTION

- DirectorStan BrakhageStarsStan BrakhageJane WodeningImages of two women, two men, and a gray cat form a montage of rapid bits of movement. A woman is in a bedroom, another wears an apron: they work with their hands, occasionally looking up. A man enters a room, a woman smiles. He sits, another man sits and smokes. The cat stretches. There are close-ups of each. The light is dim; a filter accentuates red. A bare foot stands on a satin sheet. A woman disrobes. She pets the cat.BY BRAKHAGE: AN ANTHOLOGY CRITERION COLLECTION
- DirectorCharles EamesRay EamesStarsCharles EamesAn interesting look at the world of toy trains, shot from the perspective of the little world itself.

- DirectorStan BrakhageStarsStan BrakhageJane WodeningWe see a film negative of a nude couple embracing in bed. Then, back in regular black and white images, we see them alone and together, clothed, at home. It's night, she sees his reflection in the window, she closes the drapes. After sex, again in a black and white negative, they sit, smoke, have coffee. They kiss, she smiles. They light candles. The images are often quick, the camera angles occasionally are off kilter; the room is sometimes dark and sometimes lit, as if lit by the rotating of a searchlight. The images again appear in negative when they return to bed.BY BRAKHAGE: AN ANTHOLOGY CRITERION COLLECTION

- DirectorStan BrakhageAfter the title, a white screen gives way to a series of frames suggestive of abstract art, usually with one or two colors dominating and rapid change in the images. Two figures emerge from this jungle of color: the first, a shirtless man, appears twice, coming into focus, then disappearing behind the bursts and patterns of color, then reappearing; the second figure appears later, in the right foreground. This figure suggests someone older, someone of substance. The myth?BY BRAKHAGE: AN ANTHOLOGY CRITERION COLLECTION

- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther walks onto an airfield for an experimental, military jet airplane and, fancying himself as an Air Force pilot, decides to take the airplane on an unauthorized test flight. But the speed of the aircraft is beyond what the panther had anticipated, and because he does not know what the buttons in the cockpit do, the ones that he presses send the airplane into rises, dives, swirls, circles, and low flight over a city. Finally, the Pink Panther activates an ejector seat and is parachuted to the ground, with the parachute opening a second too late. Military Police chase the Pink Panther for him having taken the airplane.

- DirectorWerner HerzogStarsPetar RadenkovicMario AdorfHans TiedemannThe film features several horse trainers and other track workers talking about their roles at the track, always eventually interrupted by an older man who claims to be the true authority, and demands that they be thrown out. One recurring young man, the first to appear, claims that he protects the horses from enthusiastic racing fans. He does not appear to be employed by the track, but seems to provide his services voluntarily. His protection from "fanatics" gives the film its title. The film is shot in a documentary style, but the sheer implausibility of the dialogue leaves the exact nature of the film ambiguous.WERNER HERZOG SHORT FILMS 2

- DirectorStan BrakhageStarsBearthm BrakhageCrystal BrakhageNeowyn BrakhageWe move back and forth between scenes of a family at home and thoughts about the stars and creation. Children hold chickens while an adult clips their wings; we see a forest; a narrator talks about stars and light and eternity. A dog joins the hens and the family, while the narrator explains the heavens. We see a bee up close. The narrator suggests metaphors for heavenly bodies. Scenes fade into a black screen or dim purple; close-ups of family life may be blurry. The words about the heavens, such as "The stars are a flock of hummingbirds," contrast with images and sounds of real children.BY BRAKHAGE: AN ANTHOLOGY CRITERION COLLECTION

- DirectorEduard ZaharievStarsMariana DimitrovaGrigor VachkovVelko KynevThere were times when stealing girls in these lands has been a worthy vocation, was a habit and a sort of custom in Bulgaria. Only the strongest and most experienced men took the profession up. A young and brave Bulgarian highlander was given the job to bring, no matter how, a certain beautiful girl to be married to somebody. Such a lad was Banko, the main character in movie. The film traces the vicissitudes of Banko. He has made a bargain to ambush and abduct the pretty Elitza and deliver her to the man who wants to marry her. The kidnapping is a success in the beginning, but the girl, Elitza, reveals a "manly" character. She puts up a stiff resistance. She fights against being taken to the weak-willed, stupid groom, who believes that the money can buy him everything. In the beginning she implores him to set her free and then threatens to jump into a ravine. At first Banko, who has become used to submissiveness of his victim, is taken aback by this sort of reaction, which runs counter to the established norms of a patriarchal code of conduct. Ultimately Banko and Elitza fall in love. This leads to the most dramatic and tragic events in their lives. His confusion evolves into a conflict between the call of duty and his emerging love for Elitza. To Banko this love, which seems to be reciprocated by his victim, is tantamount to the breaking of his word of honor. He runs the gauntlet of desire, suffering and doubt, and sees his profession in a different light. This is a film about the dawning of understanding in an unencumbered primitive mind, a turning point in the development of Eduard Sachariev who in his subsequent films has proceeded to examine the role of love as a motive force of man's surviving for freedom.THE OSSUARY AND OTHER TALES
- DirectorCharles EamesRay EamesStarsPhilip MorrisonBeginning with a shot of a couple enjoying a picnic, then zooming out incrementally by powers of ten, the film offers a glimpse of everything from the edge of the known universe to the molecules on a person's hand.THE FILMS OF CHARLES & RAY EAMES VOLUME 1

- DirectorBill ViolaChott El-Djerid is a large dried-up salt-water lake in the Tunisian Sahara, where according to the artist Bill Viola, "what you can see is the limit of what you could see".BILL VIOLA
- DirectorBill ViolaStarsBill ViolaA man emerges from the forest and stands before a pool of water. He leaps up and time suddenly stops. All movement and change in the otherwise still scene is limited to the reflections and undulations on the surface of the pond. Time becomes extended and punctuated by a series of events seen only as reflections in the water. The work describes the emergence of the individual into the natural world, a baptism into a world of virtual images and indirect perceptions.BILL VIOLA
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsYvetteSolbjørg HøjfeldtAnne-Lise GaboldA troubled and solitary woman who suffers from an acute light sensitivity summons the strength to escape her persistent trials; however, the fateful morning which is only hours away, still seems so distant and pale.

- DirectorStan BrakhageA collage of two-dimensional images of vegetation, each appearing only for a moment, sometimes as a single image, more often with other bits of stem, leaf, bud, or petal. Often we see only the outline of objects against a black background. Black and green are occasionally joined by fragments of orange or of white and blue. The objects in the frame don't move but they are quickly replaced by another collage, giving the feel of rapid motion. Each collage is crisp, its lines etched against the background of black and later of white. Whitman anyone, or Hieronymus Bosch? Although there is no soundtrack, the rapidity of changing images and colors suggests a riot.BY BRAKHAGE: AN ANTHOLOGY CRITERION COLLECTION
