| FlLM by SamueI Beckett, the great playwright s onIy venture into the medium of the cinema, was written in 1963 and filmed in New York City in the summer of 1964. The project brought together an ilIustrious group of coIlaborators: screenwriter (and future Nobel laureate) Beckett traveIed from Paris at the behest of the producer, publisher, and First Amendment champion Barney Rosset joining forces with theater director AIan Schneider, Oscar®-winning cinematographer Boris Kaufman, and silent-comedy genius, Buster Keaton. Acclaimed fiIm editor Sidney Meyers added his talents to the fiIm in post-production. The product of their efforts, Film by SamueI Beckett, has no dialogue and takes as its basis philosopher George Berkeley s theory Esse est percipi to be is to be perceived. ln essence, after alI outside perception be it animal, human, or divine is suppressed, seIf-perception remains. FiIm by SamueI Beckett premiered at the 1965 New York FiIm Festival and went on to win many international awards. Critics, Iiterary schoIars, and audiences have continued to be dazzIed and intrigued by the film. Mark Nixon of the Beckett InternationaI Foundation caIls FiIm by Samuel Beckett an intriguing and vitaI document in SamueI Beckett s life-long engagement and fascination with perception, and the image. Restorationist Ross Lipman worked with Rosset to preserve and digitize FILM by Samuel Beckett on behaIf of the UCLA Film & Television Archive and was inspired to make a documentary NOTFILM (2015), expIoring the creation and meaning of this fascinating cinema treasure.
