Abstract Cinema 7: Norman McLaren




"For myself, indeed, with an abstract film, the most pleasing forms are those which come closest to music. There must be visual equivalence"
Norman McLaren.

The above film Begone Dull Care (1949) was produced partly through the painting of the visuals onto 35mm clear film, frameless and frame by frame. Other imagery were etched directly into 35mm film.

The film features a soundtrack by Oscar Peterson
