[Frameworks] Superposition as editing practice

[Beebe, Roger W.]

And which, of course, gets transmuted into the famous Vorkapic (or vorkapich) sequences in Hollywood films like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Meet John Doe.

The Soviets, especially  Vertov and Eisenstein, included superimposition in the montage techniques.

''In Eisenstein's words, the superimposition of distinct visual and audio effects "doubles up" the power of each component, thus "squaring" the final impact.''

Leighton Pierce has made a career of finding ways to “overcome the cut” as he once put it, primarily by using very complex systems of superimposition.  Some of his work can be found on his Vimeo channel.  There’s of course a long history of superimposition in experimental cinema—“Fall of the House of Usher” and “Lot in Sodom” are both early masterpieces in that idiom—but I’m supposed to be grading, so I really can’t fall down this rabbit hole now!

Best,
Roger

Dear Franworkers,

I appeal to your expertise on superposition as editing practice. As an artist, I’m working on an installation project which calls me to set up a taxonomy of superposition in the field of moving images (film, video, digital moving images). I would very much appreciate your references relevant to this topic.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have,
All the best,
Anna Kerekes
