Do you know about the Dorsky film that is just of a plastic bag floating
around? I was doing some research on Brakhage and I came across a newsgroup
archive (Frameworks) that is another discussion group online, it seems. At
any rate, there's a pretty interesting discussion whereby one 'post'-er
reports that while in Paris in a Liberation interview, discussing how the
American avant-garde affected current cinema, Sitney points to the bag in
American Beauty as an example. According to the Liberation article, he
finds the passage in AB not effective whereas he finds the original film by
Dorsky moving and beautiful. I'd love to see that. Who knows where or
how...
