Many early short subjects cloaked genuine aesthetic discourse inside novelty approaches, such as the exploration of slow, fast, or reverse motion, distortion and abstraction, and other altered perceptions induced via camera tricks. The transitions of zoo animals from abstract to realistic renditions highlight the differences between the two states. --BRUCE POSNER. The eclectic composer Alec Wilder hailed from Rochester and wrote hundreds of compositions of American jazz and popular songs and European classical music. Fans included Frank Sinatra and Rochester's J.S. Watson, Jr. As a gift, he wrote "Tomatos Another Day" (1930), a series of verbal-visual "bad puns," for Watson to film. --BRUCE POSNER ENIGMATIC CINEMA OF JOSEPH CORNELL, PT 1 (1928-1938) - 3 FILM COMPILATION33 00:00 OUT OF THE MELTING POT (1928, 1:56 minutes)34 02:42 ; ADVENTURES OF THE NEWSREEL CAMERAMAN - FILMING THE FANTASTIC! (1936, 9:42 minutes)35 12:24 ; THE CHILDREN'S JURY - NEW NEWSREEL (c. 1938, 8:31 minutes).Amateur film enthusiast and collage artist Joseph Cornell made homespun cinema creations outside the limelight of commercial cinema production and distribution. In fact, he never handled a movie camera to shoot his own material opting to make use of "found footage" culled from early pioneer trick films, silent feature films, newsreels, travelogues, nature studies, and industrials among numerous others. --BRUCE POSNER. 16mm from 35mm 1:37:1 black and white color tint silent with music 1:56 minutes.
