Time for some cinematic Lysergic Acid :mrgreen:

This is one of a kind movie by autor Tony Conrad, an early minimalist experiment that causes hallucinations when watched.

I can imagine back in 1965 people on a movie theater doing acid and watching this :rofl:
Tony Conrad
«The Flicker»

A film consisting of only alternating black-and-white film images. During the projection, light and dark sequences alternate to changing rhythms and produce stroboscopic and flickering effects; and while viewing these, they cause optic impressions which simulate colors and forms. In the process, the film also stimulates physiological in place of psychological impressions, by not addressing the senses as such, but rather triggering direct neural reactions. Tony Conrad, who has devoted himself to an intensive study of the physiology of the nervous system, created with «The Flicker» an icon of the structural film, which succeeds without a narrative or reproducible imagery. Since the seen is not captured through the eyes, but rather first produced in the brain.

Tony Conrad

He is known in various circles as an avant-guarde video artist, experimental filmmaker, musician/composer, sound artist, teacher and writer. Along with John Cale, Angus MacLise, La Monte Young, and Marian Zazeela Conrad was a co-founder of the Theater of Eternal Music, which utilized non-Western musical forms and sustained sound to produce what they called dream music. Their collective work «Day of Niagara» (1965) is one of the earliest examples of the work of the new minimal composers/performers. Graduate of Harvard University in 1962, teaches at the Department of Media Study at S.U.N.Y. Buffalo.

I think I managed to get a much better copy of Emperor Tomato Ketchup, so it will have to wait a few more weeks, sorry... but I think consedering how rare the movie is the better copy we cand find the better. Either ways only the tinted version is bleached so i'll post the smaller black and white version just to set the appetite on :D, so my next release will be AN AMAZING animation movie Called Hospital Brut you can see some images and some info here http://www.lafriche.org/event/9901/hopitalbrut/, it's truly amazing I got the past week I watched 5 times already 8)
