Un Chein Andalou (1929)

Directed by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali.  Follow to part 2 when part 1 is through.  Released in 1929, this avant-garde film was the product of a conversation between both men regarding strange dreams they’d had.  Thematically, the film is an exploration of  suppressed human emotions.  Original cut (16 mins)/silent/French subtitles.  A musical  soundtrack was added with permission from Buñuel in 1960 and it is also on YouTube.  Some would say the film in general is disturbing.  Those people are idiots.

Please Don’t Watch This If You’re Epileptic

Energie! by Thorsten Fleisch was just recently at SF film fest.  Not for the faint of heart. Check out FilmThreat’s review.  Tells you how it was made, more about the music, etc (should you care).  Also, watch in full screen mode for complete effect.

Tracy Moffat’s Night Cries

I’ve really been into old-school experimental films lately, this one’s a classic.  It’s cool that they have them on YouTube, who would’ve thought?  I think Part 2′s better, you just have to click on that one when this one ends.  This whole thing was studio too, sick!

‘You Killed Me First’ is on YouTube. Seriously.

I just found Richard Kern’s ‘You Killed Me First’ on YouTube. I haven’t seen this movie in forever–but its definitely a classic and supposedly a true story. I can’t find part 2 on there (again. sorry that keeps happening). But half is better than nothing at all. So good. (warning: quality=not-so-great)

Flaming Creatures Part I

So, I can’t find part 2, but whatever this is good enough.  Jack Smith is a genius.  This is kind of long–10 minutes–but worth it. Heart-shaped lip-gloss.
