Pour Jacobs, la « bonne » longueur a moins à voir avec l’appropriation qu’avec l’appréciation. Perfect Film est une bobine de vingt-deux minutes découverte par Jacobs dans un caniveau de Canal Street et qu’il exhibe intégralement : une série d’interviews apparemment aléatoires et des extérieurs s’y rattachant, enregistrés par une télévision d’information au lendemain de l’assassinat de Malcom X.

Auteur-réalisateur : Ken Jacobs
1986 - 16 mm - noir et blanc - USA - VO - 22'

I love you!

And then on one of your rummages you found an old can of film recording the
aftermath of the assassination of Malcolm X and turned that into a work called The Perfect
Film. Tell us about that.

It's not "the" perfect film, it's just Perfect Film, which has more resonance. Perfect film? Film can be perfect? I didn't turn it "into." I mean, my contribution was leaving it alone. It was outtakes from a television studio, the news report. This was the stuff that they had discarded and someone, instead of just throwing it in the wastebasket decided, who knows, it might have some future use, so without any kind of order the film clips were attached one to the other. And that's how I found it. It was being sold for the reel, the metal reel it was on. And it was very cheap because this person selling it gave you the task of having to unspool all this discard. I looked at the discard and in my eyes it was good. Very revealing. So I just let the evidence be the way it was. I looked at it and said, "perfect." From beginning to end, "perfect."

It seems that no one is sharing the complete file. I see no complete sources for a long time.

Could somebody help me?

With me, there are five users stopped at 86.8 %. I (we) would thank anyone that can share the file once more. I think one or two days would be enough.

Thanks a lot.
