Blurt

About This Movie

So, 'Blurt' from 1983 is quite an unusual piece. You’ve got these two 100ft film loops intertwining in the Musicians' Collective, which creates this ambient, almost immersive experience. The projector setup is fascinating—it's like you’re caught between the physicality of the projectors and the ethereal nature of the visuals. The close-ups of mouths alongside black and white text create this intriguing juxtaposition, playing with perception and communication. It’s experimental, no doubt, and not everyone’s cup of tea, but there's something about its rawness that draws you in. The pacing is deliberately unhurried, allowing you to absorb the layers of meaning and mood without rushing through.

'Blurt' is relatively obscure and often overlooked in discussions of 80s experimental cinema. It has seen limited format releases, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. The scarcity of information on its director and production further adds to its allure. If you're into avant-garde films, this one stands out for its innovative use of projection and thematic depth.
