520 |a LIGHT RHYTHMS is part of the film retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. Sculptor Rutherford Boyd worked in collaboration with Nemeth and Bute, whose NYC production facilities were placed at his disposal. Filmed, frame by frame, in a sequence of stills that varied the arrangement of sculptural pieces under controlled illumination, "Parabola" introduced the potential of a new design technique. --BRUCE POSNER Infatuated with the new non-objective paintings of Kandinsky and others, Texas debutante Mary Ellen Bute devoted twenty years (1932-1952) to creating thirteen abstract motion pictures in black-and-white and color, with familiar classical music accompaniments. Many were shown at New York's Radio City Music Hall. --CECILE STARR Boyd began to experiment with the characteristics of the parabola with "Parabolas Descending" (1934) and culminated his research in the large "Slanted Parabola" (1939). Boyd embraced the medium of cinematography as a means of giving his sculptural work another dimension through controlled illumination, montage, and synchronized sound. --DOUGLAS DREISHPOON Before filming Mary Ellen Bute's short abstract films (1931-53), Ted Nemeth learned his craft creating special effects for feature film "trailers." As head of his own New York studio, founded in 1940 (the year Bute and he were married), he made documentaries, commercials, and short subjects, two of which were Academy Award nominees. -- ARAM BOYAJIAN. 35mm 1.37:1 black and white sound 8:48 minutes. Music: Darius Milhaud.
