Do you know this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BiFwUzybE0? It is an abstract film of 1958 that shows the process of painting a picture by Tadeusz Kantor (1915-1990) who was a Polish abstract painter and a well know theater director. This film can be found on a DVD ‘Polish Experimental Animation’ that I have put together. There is more good stuff on it.

A few years back @ IHP we screened the complete traveling series called DEL ÉXTASIS AL ARREBATO (FROM ECSTASY TO RAPTURE): 50 years of alternative Spanish film offered by the CCCB in Barcelona. Contained within the series was a film by Basque director and painter, José Antonio Sistiaga. The film ‘…ere erera baleibu izik subua aruaren…’ (José Antonio Sistiaga/1968-70. Colour, 35mm, silent. 70 mins.). The film's title signifying a series of random and meaningless words is a remarkable film. Itself, is the first feature-length film in the history of Spanish cinema painted entirely in the camera-less animation technique. Sistiaga uses 35mm celluloid as a blank, transparent canvas, directly applying paint onto the film employing different techniques. Taking 17 months to complete, and lacking figurative elements or sound accompaniment, the result is an indescribable experience and designed to be experienced projected in a darkened cinema.
