21-87
''21-87'' is a 1963 Canadian abstract montage-collage film created by Arthur Lipsett that lasts 9 minutes and 33 seconds. The short, produced by the National Film Board of Canada, is a collage of snippets from discarded footage found by Lipsett in the editing room of the National Film Board (where he was employed as an animator), combined with his own black and white 16 mm footage which he shot on the streets of Montreal and New York City, among other locations. Release and reception ''21-87'' premiered on the CBC program ''Explorations'' in 1964. Journalist Howard Junker dismisses ''21-87'' and Lipsett's other film, ''Free Fall'', as repetitious: "the whole idea of wildly flashing stills and phrases wears quickly". Critic N. Roy Clifton is frustrated by the seeming randomness of the images. Critic John Fell suggests the film is evocative of parataxis, like a sentence without a conjunctive word. Influence on George Lucas "21-87" would have a profound influence on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
