Eve-Ray-Forever

About This Movie

EVE-RAY-FOREVER is this fascinating silent triptych that really pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling. You’ve got these vibrant colors that pop like a dream, and the pacing gives you time to really soak it all in. There's a meditative quality to it, almost hypnotic. It’s an expanded version of COSMIC RAY, so you’re already getting a sense of how Conner plays with cinematic space in a way that feels exploratory. The three-screen format is something you don’t see often, and it really enhances the whole experience. The themes weave between the cosmic and the personal in ways that are both abstract and relatable, and the practical effects have this raw charm that can’t be replicated. It’s an interesting piece in the realm of experimental cinema.

Originally shown as an 8mm installation, EVE-RAY-FOREVER is quite a rarity among collectors now, especially with the 2006 digital restoration adding to its intrigue. The film's unique format and experimental nature often make it a topic of discussion among those interested in avant-garde movements. However, finding a good quality print can still be a challenge, which adds to its appeal for dedicated collectors who appreciate its distinctiveness in Conner's oeuvre.
