| Summary: | LIGHT RHYTHMS is part of the film retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. These never before screened camera rolls photographed by Fox News cameraman Al Brick offer a lovely interlude of pure cinema experimentation. The fascination with anamorphic images dates back centuries to mirrors, lenses, and other optical toys employed to warp images for artistic and scientific purposes. --BRUCE POSNER Alfred "Al" Brick was a longtime cameraman c. 1919-1950 for Fox News and Fox Movietone. He made the only commercial footage of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, but this footage, heavily censored, was not presented to the public until one year later. He ended his newsreel career covering Hollywood glamour events. --BRUCE POSNER 35mm 1.33:1 black and white silent with music 20fps 2:22 minutes. Production Fox Movietone News. |
