Introduced by Edith Kramer.
Three powerful films, each one deserving of its reputation. Bruce Conner’s "A Movie" (1958), which has been named to the National Film Registry, is made from found footage and encapsulates the dominant themes in the history of motion pictures: chase, motion, sex, violence, and disasters. A camp classic, George Kuchar’s "Hold Me While I’m Naked" (1966), shot with the assistance of George’s twin brother, Mike, was one of Kuchar’s earliest 16mm color productions. The steamy drama of sex, love and loneliness stars Kuchar himself as the tortured hero. "For the First Time", by Octavio Cortázar, was shot near a mountain village in Cuba on the occasion of the villagers first ever film screening. Viewers are interviewed as to their expectations in seeing a film, which included a Charlie Chaplin clip.
Part of the Cinema Mon Amour series at the BAM/PFA.
