[silence] 1947 film featuring Cage music

[Kraig Grady]

Since no one has responded yet. i will say a few words. my memory is 
foggy on it since i saw it maybe 30 years ago
His music which i remember being some of his prepared piano work was to 
images of Duchamp's rotoscopes.
 It is good film despite that the sections i think were all made 
separately without some over all theme that "curators" seem to insist on 
these days.
And is a testament to letting any overall themes come out of the art 
itself as imposing the latest fashionable theory upon  what people are 
doing.
 Things better look at in hindsight
 I particularly also remember the Max Ernst section also.
