Artist and experimental filmmaker Bruce Conner has died at the age of 75. He’s maybe best known for his first film, the 1958 assemblage A Movie; his most recent film, Easter Morning, a pure cinema short shot in the 60s and recently released to celebrate Conner’s 50th anniversary, screened in competition last month at CineVegas. Ray Pride has much, much more at Movie City Indie. I’ve embedded one of Conner’s more surprising works, a short set to Devo’s “Mongoloid,” above.
Thanks for providing a link to “A Movie”. I’ve been meaning to see that short for years, and now I have.
‘John’ refers to a link to Bruce Connor’s “A Movie”. I’m writing on representations of Theodore Roosevelt and understand there is an iconic clip of him in the film that I’d be interested in seeing. Is the film available online; could anyone send this link? - regards, Brian
