[Frameworks] Double-8 camera ---> 16mm projection

[Rob Gawthrop]

Nicky Hamlyn’s Rhythm 1 (1974) he also has a short section in his book Film Art Phenomena about unsplit standard 8.

Incidentally,  when I was a student I did the opposite to Polly, (Lorry Route to Tovil 1975/6) I shot a street and traffic on standard 8 in a 16mm camera, projected it as split 8mm and refilmed it off the screen the same way again and again.  Alternating frames successively zoomed in becoming abstract with irregular flicker. I’ve never shown it since it affected the eyesight of the programmer at the LFMC.

It's a scene of a naked girl and a dog, satifying at the beginning a sort of voyeuristic pleasure, becoming more and more de-structurated. The soundtrack works in reverse, becoming at the end competely recognozible: Vivaldi's 4 seasons.

Maybe it's someone on this list. One of my students is considering shooting and would like to see examples. Please, help me find her/him if you know who I'm talking about, or else, if you know films that can be watched on the internet using this format in this unorthodox way. Thank you!
