Me's and Youse

About This Movie

Me's and Youse from 1971 is this quirky little gem that showcases early image processing in a really playful way. The whole concept of morphing faces, especially with Parry Teasdale and Carol Vontobel, has this odd charm that feels both experimental and personal. It’s fascinating to see how the technology of the time was applied to a performance piece, and the pace shifts with the music add a layer of humor that keeps it engaging. Then you have Nancy Cain and Skip Blumberg stepping in, which just amplifies the fun factor. It’s a film that isn’t concerned with grandeur but instead plays with identity and perception in a lighthearted manner.

Me's and Youse is a rarity that hasn't seen wide distribution over the years, which makes it a bit of a curiosity among collectors. Originally shown in limited screenings, it's hard to find in any significant format, with few copies floating around in collector circles. The distinctiveness of its experimental approach to face morphing sets it apart, attracting those interested in the evolution of video technology and performance art. It's definitely a title that sparks conversation and piques interest in the niche of early experimental cinema.
