Ooh, that looks interesting.

Hated Decasia - hate Michael Gordon, he's an awful too.

Whatev, Light is Calling is one of my half dozen favorite movies of the last decade.

Glenn Kenny on Morrison box:

the melting of the imagery becomes a central event in the re-editing of 1926’s “The Bells,” an anti-Semitic propaganda film that Morrison “redeems” through his imaginative reediting in two films

That's news to me.

Don't know it, tho some appear to see stereotypes typical of the era.

Wish I was able to make it to that retrospective; partner's a huge Morrison fan.

The Collected Works DVD box set features four DVDs and then Decasia on Blu-Ray - and only Blu-Ray. Where is the logic here, exactly? I mean, I get it, release the Blu-Ray version, but at least include a DVD version too, since, you know, the rest of the box set is comprised of DVDs. Frustrating!

huh, weird.

i have to admi i don't really like decasia since it basically hits the same note over and over again (emotionally, i mean, though i guess literally too in the form of the drone-y soundtrack). it's not a very complex experience.

saw Morrison's new one yesterday at NYFF, amazing gold rush footage/photos, not to mention an unlikely film-preservation tale. also, 1919 World Series footage!
