Barbara Rubin et l'underground new-yorkais

2018 78 min 1 vues

Dans la lignée des cinéastes dont l’unique film est devenu culte, Barbara Rubin incarne un des plus flamboyant prototypes. En 1963, la New-Yorkaise n’a que 18 ans lorsqu’elle tourne le transgressif Christmas on Earth, inspiré d’Une saison en enfer de Rimbaud et du sulfureux moyen métrage Flaming Creatures de Jack Smith. Pourquoi ce coup d’essai magistral est-il resté sans suites ?

The films were made between 1964 and 1966 at Warhol's Factory studio in New York City. Subjects were captured in stark relief by a strong key light, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film at 24 frames per second. The resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then screened in 'slow motion' at 16 frames per second.

1990 36 min 19 vues

This intimate portrait of Andy Warhol pulls together a unique library of material shot by New York film legend Jonas Mekas. Spanning from 1963 to 1990, the film features a cast of counterculture icons including Allen Ginsberg, George Maciunas, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono, as well as John and Caroline Kennedy, and Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy Onassis's sister and Warhol muse)—to whom Mekas dedicates the film. The film features footage from the Velvet Underground's first public performance. A portrait of the remarkable life of arguable the twentieth century's most famous artist and leading iconographer.

At 29 minutes, Barbara Rubin has created the ultimate study on the celebratory and erotic nature of free-love. The film is tinted in various colors, hence the title, and finds various individuals engaging in sexual activity. Men with women, men with men, women with women, and several orgies throughout.
