Kenneth Anger: Elliott’s Suicide, 2007 (excerpt)

Elliott’s Suicide (2007, 15 min, video)
A homage to the late American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, Elliott’s Suicide is a sentimental 15 minute tribute, lacking Anger’s usual irony for obvious reasons. The film begins with shots of friends’ and fans’ last words written on Smith’s memorial on Sunset Boulevard, then to footage of a Macy’s parade, focusing closely on the oddly outfitted participants, some in renaissance attire, cowboys with lassos, and beauty queens. The film is scored with Smith’s music, resulting in a melancholy effect, especially in the segment that follows Smith through the woods and films him as he digs up a guitar, then plays a song. This footage is repeated in the end of the film, but in a negative reversal print, suggesting pretty damn clearly that the subject matter has moved beyond the veil.

Brian Eno: 1971-1977 The Man Who Fell To Earth

Brian Eno is best known for his early involvement with the iconic art rock band Roxy Music, he has done collaborative work with Jon Hassell, Robert Fripp, David Byrne, Harold Budd, Cluster and John Cale among others; and extensive production duties for the likes of David Bowie, James, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Devo, Paul Simon and more. The Man Who Fell To Earth 1971-1977 details Eno's rapid ascent during the excitement of a changing music scene, when electronica was no longer feared, but accepted as a dynamic and bold assault on the senses. This film explores his life, influences and creative output, from Eno's debut with Roxy Music through to his last rock album, Before and After Science. One of the principal innovators of ambient music, his influence and artistry is beyond doubt. Fans are surely to enjoy this...
