Posts this week will tend towards the brief since I’m spending all my time finishing Reverbstorm<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d already posted something about Emak-Bakia<\/em><\/a>, a 16-minute “cin\u00e9po\u00e8me<\/em>” by Man Ray from 1926, but it seems not. This is another of those short experimental films that proliferated between the wars, and a particularly inventive one with Man Ray throwing together every camera trick he could manage; he even throws the camera in the air at one point, having earlier driven over it. There’s also bits of animation, many shots of revolving sculptures and the artist’s customary emphasis on attractive women. Watch it at Vimeo or download it from Ubuweb<\/a>.<\/p>\n
