Diamond Dogs Demo Video

During his stay at New York’s Pierre Hotel, David Bowie and cameraman John Dove made a short concept video for a proposed Diamond Dogs film. The video was shot in black and white with a single RCA video camera. It included a title screen, opening credits, and shot of Bowie standing among cardboard-cutout denizens of Hunger City. Although the idea of a larger (presumably) film production was dropped, this demo video offers a tantalizing glimpse of what Bowie had begun to plan.

The Tool Box

George Pal, known for his science-fiction films in the 1950s and 60s, was also known for making a series of animated shorts called Puppetoons in the 1930s and 40s. This short was made for Chuck Jones children's series THE CURIOSITY SHOP and later fell into the 16mm market. By that time, everyone from Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass to Jim Henson, said that they were influenced and inspired by George Pal's Puppetoons. After making a series of great films that turned out to be box-office flops, such as ATLANTIS THE LOST CONTINENT (1961), THE 7 FACES OF DR. LAO (1964), and THE POWER (1968), all of which had stop-motion scenes, perhaps it was time to go back to his roots. Directed by Gene Warren and animated by Harry Walton.

Sign

Du Cane describes his cinema as “as close as I can get to an immediate transference onto celluloid of my flux-like process in response to being here now, filming.” Sign is a “room film”, shot entirely in what appears to be the filmmaker’s studio: film cans, reels and other cinematographic can sometimes be distinguished amongst the rapid camera movements. Du Cane’s rarely shown films are amongst the most pure and radical of their period. Instinctive yet formal, structured and organic, the physical world is turned into a screen-based labyrinth that is both surface and depth, through the retinal rush of incremental superimpositions and delicate cameral control.
