SCIENCE FRICTION (STAN VANDERBEEK, 1959)
This is a wonderful cut and paste animation from the master of collage… VanDerBeek studied art and architecture first at Cooper Union Collegein New York and then at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met architect Buckminster Fuller, composer John Cage, and choreographer Merce Cunningham. VanDerBeek began his career in the 1950s making independent art film while learning animation techniques and working painting scenery and set designs for the American TV show, Winky Dink and You. His earliest films, made between 1955 and 1965 mostly consist of animated paintings and collage films, combined in a form of organic development.
This shot is the most expensive shot in silent film history. It was filmed in a single take, that had to be perfect, with a real train and a ‘dummy’ engineer (notice the white arm hanging out the conductors window). Some of the locals who came to watch the filming, thought the dummy was a real person and screamed in horror; supposedly, one person even fainted.

Yellow, yellow! Nice little film by Caleb Wood with a beautiful animation and a perfect atmosphere for this warm summer days. Gentle meadow in all its simplicity, and a little creature that explores it… Just beautiful!

Sleep, an animated film by David Shrigley.
The Dream Machine is the longest, most comprehensive documentary about the history of computing ever produced, but since its release in 1992, it’s become virtually extinct. Out of print and never released online, the only remaining copies are VHS tapes floating around school libraries or in the homes of fans who dubbed the original shows when they aired.
It’s a whirlwind tour of computing before the Web, with brilliant archival footage and interviews with key players — several of whom passed away since the filming. Jointly produced by WGBH Boston and the BBC, it originally aired in the UK as The Dream Machine before its U.S. premiere in January 1992. Its broadcast was accompanied by a book co-written by the documentary’s producer Jon Palfreman.

Sufjan Stevens has contributed music to MAKE, a documentary about four self-taught outsider artists from directors Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn. Stevens’ 2010 album The Age of Adz was inspired by the documentary. The cover of the album is a painting by Prophet Royal Robertson, one of the artists featured in the film, and Stevens also partially built the album around Robertson’s life story. On June 21, Stevens’ label Asthmatic Kitty will release MAKE on DVD. Besides Robertson, the film also profiles fellow outsider artists Hawkins Bolden, Judith Scott, and Ike Morgan. In a press release, Stevens calls the film “a beautiful and insightful look at the sublime task of making art when nothing else will do.” Check out the trailer above. Via P4K.
