Eyeblink

About This Movie

So, 'Eyeblink' is a curious little piece from 1966, and it's not your typical film. It’s just Yoko Ono’s eye, slowly blinking, shot in high-speed by Peter Moore. The thing is, it’s projected at normal speed, which gives it this almost surreal, meditative quality that’s hard to shake off. The pacing? Well, it’s deliberately slow, almost challenging you to observe and appreciate the nuances of something as mundane as a blink. There’s this odd beauty in its simplicity, a sort of quiet that invites reflection. It’s not really about story, but rather about the experience – something distinctively avant-garde that you won’t find in typical collections.

This film has seen limited releases, primarily in niche art film circles and collections. Its scarcity is part of what makes it intriguing to collectors, as many may only come across it in specialized film festivals or retrospectives on avant-garde cinema. While not widely circulated, interest remains among those who appreciate experimental film, especially works involving notable figures like Ono.
