| FlLM by Samuel 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 iIlustrious group of collaborators: screenwriter (and future Nobel Iaureate) Beckett traveIed from Paris at the behest of the producer, publisher, and First Amendment champion Barney Rosset joining forces with theater director Alan Schneider, Oscar®-winning cinematographer Boris Kaufman, and silent-comedy genius, Buster Keaton. AccIaimed film editor Sidney Meyers added his taIents to the film in post-production. The product of their efforts, FiIm by Samuel Beckett, has no diaIogue and takes as its basis phiIosopher George BerkeIey s theory Esse est percipi to be is to be perceived. In essence, after alI outside perception be it animaI, human, or divine is suppressed, self-perception remains. FiIm by Samuel Beckett premiered at the 1965 New York FiIm FestivaI and went on to win many international awards. Critics, literary scholars, and audiences have continued to be dazzled and intrigued by the film. Mark Nixon of the Beckett InternationaI Foundation calIs FiIm by Samuel Beckett an intriguing and vital document in SamueI Beckett s Iife-Iong engagement and fascination with perception, and the image. Restorationist Ross Lipman worked with Rosset to preserve and digitize FlLM by SamueI Beckett on behaIf of the UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive and was inspired to make a documentary NOTFlLM (2015), exploring the creation and meaning of this fascinating cinema treasure.
