Title from disc. "Experimental [filmmaker]"--Container. Originally broadcast on the television program Screening room in Jan., 1973. Program transferred to DVD with no production credit information. Interviewer: Robert Gardner.
Summary:
A professor of art history and film, a photographer, and an inventor, Standish Lawder made truly experimental films by seeing what a predetermined idea about content, structure, or technique will produce when carried out in shooting or printing. Stanley Cavell, philosopher and professor at Harvard, had just published The world viewed, his first book on film. In this January 1973 episode of Screening room, Lawder demonstrates the intricacies of his home-made optical printer and shows examples of what can be achieved with rephotographing film. Gardner, Lawder, and Cavell also discuss the intellectual and psychological implications of his manipulations. Their frank commentary carries on over Lawder's test print of Intolerance, which he had just received from the lab and had not yet viewed it himself. Lawder also screens Necrology, Color film, and Corridor.
