Winterlude

“Winterlude” was the first film completed on a rear-screen rephotography system (optical printer) that I built in the summer of 1975. The film introduces a vague narrative context that remains latent throughout the main body of the film and is finally revealed in the closing sequence. The core of “Winterlude” consists of a series of landscapes containing juxtaposed live-action and painted visual elements through which trains appear, travel across the frame and disappear. (LM)
