Description:
Medea (1973), directed by Ben Caldwell for his first project at UCLA.
"Ben Caldwell’s Medea, a collage piece made on an animation stand and edited entirely in the camera, combines live action and rapidly edited still images of Africans and African Americans which function like flashes of history that the unborn child will inherit. Caldwell invokes Amiri Baraka’s poem 'Part of the Doctrine' in this experimental meditation on art history, Black imagery, identity and heritage."—Allyson Nadia Field.

[Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Raise the dead. Raise the dead. Raise the comeback. Raise the race. Raise the race. Raise the rays the rays. Raise it race. Raise itself. Raise the rays of the sun's race to raise the rays of this town and this place for the next and the next race ourselves to emerge burning all inner gases gassed at the god of guarding the guardians of God. Who we are. God is who we raise ourselves, who we hover in and are raised above our bodies and machines. Those who are without God, who have lost the spiritual principle of their lives are not raised, and their race is to their natural deaths, no matter how unnatural. Without spirit, without the climb through space to the seven principle, without the pure and purity of the spirit to raise the eyes, to raise the rays and the rays of our hot, savage gods who disappear to reappear in the body, in the arm, move to the god of the heaven of God where rays and the rays of the race will return through all space to God. Two sun's rays to raise the suns and the old heat of our truth and passage through the secret doctrine universe through God. We are raised and this race is a son suns burst out of heaven to be God in the race of our race with perfection. It's dead. A culture provides identity, purpose, and direction. If you know who you are, you will know who your enemy is. You will also know what to do. What is your purpose? [Music] [Music]
