| Summary: | LIGHT RHYTHMS is part of the film retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. Douglass Crockwell, an artist, filmmaker and inventor, needs introduction in all three fields. His commercial illustrations compare well to those of his near namesake, Norman Rockwell. His films include paintings on glass and sliced wax abstractions. Among Crockwell's inventions are his Pan-Stereo camera and a modified Mutoscope for displaying sequential art. --CECILE STARRDavid Smith was an acclaimed sculptor, draughtsman, and painter. From the early to mid-1930s, Smith made photographs conceived as abstract collages and after 1945 as documents of his own sculptures. His relationship with artists Douglass Crockwell and Leo Lances resulted in his collaboration on film projects during the mid to late 30s. --BRUCE POSNER 16mm 1.37:1 color silent 16fps 5:29 minutes.
