Film, Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett's lone work for projected cinema, is a beguiling experimental short film in which a probing camera pursues a character named 'O' , played by silent screen legend Buster Keaton.
In his Kino-Essay, Notfilm, Ross Lipman explores the history surrounding the production of Film. Citing the work of Buñuel, Vertov, Vigo and Eisenstein, and featuring interviews with cinematographer Haskell Wexler, Billie Whitelaw and the film's producer Barney Rosset and others, Notfilm examines Film's genesis, production, themes, and philosophical implications.
