    Featuring Mary Binney Montgomery. “ORAMUNDE is an illustration in dance of the tale of Pelléas et Melisande, a story of two star-crossed lovers. The film confirms the belief that archetypal imagination is one of the mind’s primitive modes. Stripping the story to its core is a means of penetrating imagination.” – R. Bruce ElderRead More »

    Quote:
    “I thought, how interesting it would be if we used the film in a different method. So far it had been used like a novel to tell a story, or else as a documentary and there was nothing else in between, and I wanted to use the film as a poetic medium, to do a poem like T.S. Eliot’s poems, and do it entirely visually and that’s how I came about to do my film I called POEM 8 and as far as I know it was the first film that experimented in that as a poetic medium.” – Emlen EttingRead More »
