A cinematic interpretation of many of Burroughs’ major themes. Includes d ramatizations, cut ups, and psychological experimentation based on the works of William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin. Samuel Beckett’s "Film" (1965) starring Buster Keaton. Short twenty-minute, almost totally silent film (no dialogue or music, save one 'shhh!') in which Buster Keaton attempts to evade observation by an all-seeing eye. But, as the film is based around Bishop Berkeley's principle 'esse est percipi' (to be is to be perceived), Keaton's very existence conspires against his efforts. Chris Marker’s La Jetee (1962). The story of a man forced to explore his memories in the wake of World War III's devastation, told through still images. Time travel, still images, past, present and future and the aftermath of World War III. The tale of a man, a slave, sent back and forth, in and out of time, to find a solution to the world's fate, to replenish its decreasing stocks of food, medicine and energies, and in doing so, resulting in a perpetual memory of a lone female, life, death and past events that are recreated on an airport jetty.
