[Frameworks] Experimental Science Films

[Robert Haller]

Dear Frameworks,

Re. films about or evocative of physics or astronomy. Jim Davis¹s films are
suggestive of cosmic genesis, plasma energy, or ³liquid² light, with waves
of color.  Especially Color Dances (1952), Becoming (1955), Energies (1957),
Impulses (1959). For more on Davis and his often abstract cinema see my
forthcoming book ³Dancing With Light² (Anthology Film Archives, 2012). -R.
