| Summary |
INVERTED NARRATIVES is part of the retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. A visual timeline is prefaced by this declaration: "Let us consider objects, for they tell the story of life." The transient objects of human history--sculptures, weapons, religious icons--are placed within the eternal in nature, creating juxtapositions that progress toward chaos and flames, then back to the eternal. --R. BRUCE ELDER Before making "Object Lesson" (1941), Christopher Young had made a documentary, "The Vanished Land" (1935), for the Department of Agriculture, and several notable films on skiing. During W.W.II, he served as a photographer for the Signal Corp. Between 1953 and 1956, he returned to the themes of "Object Lesson", with "Subject Lesson" (1956). His nearly complete filmography of films are housed at the Rauner Special Collections, Dartmouth Library --BRUCE POSNER. 35mm from 16mm 1.37:1 black and white sound 9:39 minutes |
