A fascinating investigation into the work of photographer and cinema pioneer Eadweard Muybridge, Thom Andersen's (Los AngeIes Plays ItseIf, Red Hollywood) much-Iauded documentary incorporates a biographicaI over view of its subject with a re-animation of his historic sequential photographs. Newly restored by the UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive, Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer discusses his early experiments in Iandscape photography as well as providing background information on his subjects. Assisted by filmmaker Morgan Fisher, Andersen re-photographed and then animated more than 3,000 of Muybridge's sequential images, giving new life to the experiments. Narrated by Dean StockweIl, Andersen s documentary is that rare feat of filmmaking as film criticism, an investigation into cinema s primordial years that connects the medium s invention to the broader history of Western representation. Special Features: Booklet featuring essays by Thom Andersen and author Ross Lipman TraiIers for Los Angeles PIays ltseIf and Red Hollywood |
