Eric Siegel, 25, who built his first closed-circuit TV system out of spare parts ten years ago, showed a 21-minute tape of classical and Beatles music accompanied by glowing visual abstractions that he dubs Psychedelevision in Color. Closer to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey than to Walt Disney's Fantasia, it is the sort of work that might well fill the extra channels on the cable antenna systems of the future. Eager to "take the waste out of the wasteland," Thomas Tadlock, 28, spent two years and a patron...
...MUST make your movements and expressions be heard through your voice," I was once told while making a record. Robert Edgar's staged reading of Euripides' Hippolytus has this same goal. In place of the wildly-choreographed and colorfully-masked visual spectacle of traditional staging, Edgar presents uncostumed characters at lecterns. Yet Euripides' compassion for the plight of mortal helplessness can often be felt through the voices of this cast...

In one sense all narrative is "classical" in that cutting dependent on continuity of movement is basic montage (two shots put together to imply a nonexistent visual relationship) and consequently follows the teaching of Eisenstein and Griffith. Shooting styles, however, are more varied, and part of Ford's glory lies in the ease with which he employs almost all shooting styles...
...within the next two weeks. The series includes all of Ford's greatest work, and several films unseen theatrically for years, and indispensable to both Ford and film enthusiasts. Nobody's films are as much fun as John Ford's. Their humor and excitement is exceeded only by a visual and dramatic richness on all levels. Becoming acquainted with Ford is a wondrous process ultimately involving a rediscovery of America through Ford's extraordinary vision. At best, Ford's films redeem America, as Hawks' films redeem 20th century man from the abyss into which he has tumbled. We are better...
MOVIE HISTORIANS call Erich von Stroheim a realist because of his attention to authentic detail. Stroheim rehearsed actors only less thoroughly than he designed sets and selected objects for them. But the most important element of his art is visual style, for its give us a sense that the objects and spaces he shows are real. Without this sense, all the correct detail in the world would be useless...
