[Frameworks] Revelations

[Bernard Roddy]

Dominic:

Thank you. I just watched Revelations. Although I passed over a few of your
remarks at the festival site, I was most intent on figuring out how to play
whatever it was you were posting.

And it made me think of Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera. It's
Vertov's apocalyptic edit. We have lost the celebration of labor and
industry. And the effects of Vertov's film here seem to be degraded into
something more tragic, like the spots on the lens that are admitted, or the
double exposure that transforms what it was supposed to mean to work for a
purpose.

I used to show Vertov's film to classes on a VHS dub. Once I tried to
substitute our improved transfer version, which was on a DVD from across
campus, but discovered the film now appeared with orchestral music (I want
to actually call it flatout opera). This disaster was never again
permitted. And your Revelations has the sound it deserves.

It actually occurred to me that Man with a Movie Camera could be construed
as early music video, not just early documentary, as I used to hear it
called.

Really awesome. There's no need for any of the other work in that festival.
And there remains the additional tragedy of the film's current exhibition
conditions.
