I’m a big fan of the optical printing sequences in a lot of Peter Rose’s 16mm work. “The Man Who Could Not See Far Enough,” while only using an optical printer in stretches, is a masterpiece, but I’d track down his old VHS collections & dig deep. So much good stuff…
Peter’s films also teach very well. I’ve used “Analogies” in the past fairly frequently.

Hi Carolyn,
Below is the screening list from the last time I taught Optical Printing at Columbia College. I agree that Pat O'Neill is probably the greatest example of Optical Printing artistry, and include much of his work is available for purchase in DVD form. However, I would also stress that it was amazing to take the prints of his work and view them on rewinds with a light table so that students could really study how he created his "looks". I love Water and Power too, and usually saved it until the last class in the semester.

I join Marcos and Adam in stressing the importance of Pat O’Neill here. Optical printing doesn’t get any better if by that term we mean an art form, an aesthetic practice, not a technique. Another artist from Pat’s generation known for his optical printing is Will Hindle

The entire oeuvre of Pat O’Neill is essential, and very influential.
We did a screening with a various of interesting optically printed films as part of Alternative Projections.

Dear Frameworkers,
If I were going to undertake a series of screenings showcasing optical printer techniques, what work would you recommend? What is the best work for understanding the cinematic potential in optical printing? Are there any texts that could be included? I'm asking for my own enlightenment and to take my own OP work to another level, but I might also try to put together a public screening at some point.
Many thanks, as always, for your thoughts and advice.
