Description: Pacific Film Archive collection; non-circulating. CUY.; Pacific Film Archive collection; non-circulating. Access by appt. only. CBPF.; PFA 1608-01-14407. Restricted: For PFA exhibition only.; Canyon Cinema catalog; Triste is an indication of the level of cinema language that I have been working towards. By delicately shifting the weight and solidity of the images, and bringing together subject matter not ordinarily associated, a deeper sense of impermanence and mystery can open. The images are as much pure-energy objects as representation of verbal understanding and the screen itself is transformed into a "speaking" character. The "sadness" referred to in the title is more the struggle of the film itself to become a film as such, rather than some pervasive mood.; PFA 1608-01-14407. Excellent condition; print made at Forde Motion Picture Labs; Xenon balanced
