I want to thank whoever it was (sorry, I'm forgetting) who posted the link to
David Haxton's website, even if it ended up not being the correct artist/film.
I had seen a couple of David's films many years ago, and had remembered them
fondly, but forgotten his name as well as the film titles. Thanks to that post
here the other day, I'm in touch with David and he's in the process of getting
his films together to deposit at the Academy Film Archive (where I work) so I
can evaluate them for preservation/restoration work. This is particularly
timely, since his originals were all lost by a lab ages ago and he had begun
selling his remaining extant prints!
thanks again,
Mark Toscano

Ah yes! Thank you. That's it. Funny how "Paper Landscape" and "Man with
Mirror" were sort of conflated in my mind as one thing.
