[Frameworks] Peleshian + quo vadis

[Els van Riel]

Can anybody imagine Peleshian's film work recorded (recorded not  
copied) on HD?

Not me, not with a very same, similar sensitivity. An equal  
sensitivity of course, but definitely not a similar.

Thanks, all

While I would LOVE to see (again) Peleshian on 35mm, I'm actually
poking about for DVD purchase while stationed here at the Univ of Iowa
for a year.

I'll look into the various tips and leads.

And, Pip, I agree, what a shame!

For those of you who haven't seen his 'distance montage' and unique
rearrangements of archival + original footage, do at least catch a
blocky little glimmer of a 'taste' on ubu
