Pan of the Landscape
Christopher Becks US, 2005, 10', 16 mmChristopher Becks’s Pan of the Landscape, made during the filmmaker’s final two years of art school, reflects Brakhage’s influence, especially at its opening. But soon differences begin to appear. The black shadow of something that looks a bit like a machine part slowly traverses the visual field, asserting the presence of the mechanisms of cinema (and of the optical printer, the ‘special effects’ rephotography device Becks used to make his film).
