Re: [Frameworks] neg cutting

2023-04-23 Thread Francisco Torres
What seems most interesting here is that today , because film practice has
become marginal , work methods that in the past (industrial) era were not
used much are now being used with good results.  ''experimental'' film not
just in content but in all kinds of ways. it is good to know that film is
still inspiring us. sprockets keep running!

Vorkapich is so underrated Sad. Harrington made a TV movie in the 70s

How about Slavko Vorkapich? He is credited with ''visual design'' in I Bury
the Living (1958) and created the 3D sequences of The Mask (1961).
Both films have become cult classics of the Psychotronic genre.
