Baseball/TV

About This Movie

Baseball/TV is quite the curious gem from 1979. It’s not your standard film; it weaves together the nuances of baseball with the art of visual storytelling. Sherman’s approach is playful yet thought-provoking, as he explores how both mediums catch moments in time. The pacing is unique, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the thematic interplay between sport and screen. It’s this blending of the tangible and the illusory that resonates. The visuals, though simplistic, serve a purpose—much like the objects in the game itself. It offers a certain charm that’s hard to quantify, and you'd really appreciate the layered meanings upon multiple viewings.

This film is relatively scarce, with limited release copies making it a point of interest for collectors. It didn't see a wide distribution, so finding it in good condition can be a bit of a treasure hunt. Many collectors appreciate its experimental nature, and it stands out in niche collections focused on the intersection of sports and cinema. The unique perspective Sherman offers tends to attract those interested in the underrepresented works from that era.
