Sidewinder's delta / Pat O'Neill (1976 ; 20 min.) -- Saugus series / Pat O'Neill (1974 ; 18 min.) -- Down wind / sound, Stan Levine ; picture, Pat O'Neill (1973 ; 15 min.) -- Foregrounds / Pat O'Neill (1979 ; 13 min.) -- Runs good (1970 ; 15 min.).
Sidewinder's delta is a dreamy narrative using desert scenes framed by abstract animations. Saugus series is seven short films, one-and-a-half to six minutes long, each an evolving still life, made up of meticulously assembled but spatially contradictory elements, united by a common soundtrack. Down wind is a thoughtful treatment of some of the problems mankind has been having in dealing with its fellow species, both animal and vegetable. Foregrounds presents carefully constructed spatial ambiguities using foregrounds in Southern California. Runs good is a darkish journey down memory lane, to visit some news events, folkways and thought patterns associated with the late forties and early fifties.
DVD, NTSC.
