The Thief of Baghdad - 1940 - UK Thief of Bagdad (1940, UK) "The Academy Award for Special Effects (photographic and sound) was awarded to this film. Associate producer William Cameron Menzies designed some of the rich special effects for this imaginative Arabian Nights fantasy film produced by Alexander Korda, a loose remake of the original Douglas Fairbanks silent classic of 1924; they included a flying magic carpet, a six-armed mechanical assassin, a toy horse that could fly, poor Bagdad thief Abu's (15 year-old Sabu) battle with a giant spider in its huge web, and the sight of 50 foot tall genie or Djinni (Rex Ingram) in a tiny bottle.

These ancient artworks were photographed, printed in a book, scanned into a computer, adjusted with Photoshop, and animated with After Effects. Each step in the journey has left its tell-tale mark, from the lighting of the original photograph to the mask of the printer to the blocky pixels of the digital zoom. "

Gunvor Nelson - Film Video Artist "Gunvor Nelson Retrospective: Personal Lens -October 20–23, 2006 [MoMA - New York] This exhibition of work by film and video pioneer Gunvor Nelson spans four decades and offers a rare opportunity to experience the accumulated impact of Nelson's artistic vision. Her poetically expansive life's work-created in both San Francisco, her home and workplace for over thirty years, and her native Sweden, where she has resettled-has consistently, often courageously, privileged her subjective gaze and individual experience. Nelson relentlessly refuses predictability (and succeeds) in her search for a true relation between project and form. Among the most experimental of artists, Nelson illuminates such elusive and intimate subjects as childhood, aging, displacement, memory, women's roles, death, and the symbolic forces of nature and water via a potent exploration of the possibilities of sound and moving image. Her ephemeral, dreamlike images are...

The Arrival of a train at la Ciotat Station - 1895 L'Arrivée d'un train en la Gare de la Ciotat Google video broadcast "Filmed in 1895, it was first shown to a paying audience in Paris, France on January 6, 1896. The 50-second silent film captures the entry of a steam locomotive into the train station in the French coastal town of la Ciotat. Like most of the other early Lumière films, L'Arrivée d'un train consists of a single, unedited "view" illustrating an aspect of everyday life... The story goes that when the film was first shown, the audience was so overwhelmed by the moving image of a life-sized train coming directly at them that people screamed and ran to the back of the room."

"The sense of hearing is deprived of its traditional "privilege" and sight - which until now has not had a distinct role in listening to and evaluating music, is being given the opportunity for integral/interactive cooperation. This is an opportunity to equally enjoy both sound and visual contents without "slippind" into the trap of the visual environment or the visual story of natural contents and diminishing the fundamental qualities of MUSIC - that abstract, eternal and ever-welcome companion of mankind."
