Begone Dull Care

A film by Norman McLaren

  • 8 min (approx.)
A still from Begone Dull Care.

Made with Evelyn Lambart. Paint, ink and scratches on the film strip swing in time to the Oscar Peterson Trio, slowing to scratched dots for a slow middle passage. They worked in sections of about five seconds, playing each one back against the music on a Moviola.
