Ming Green

About This Movie

Ming Green is this really interesting piece, all about the filmmaker’s apartment drenched in that unique green hue. The absence of a script gives it this raw, almost intimate feel, and the editing done entirely in-camera lends it a spontaneous quality that’s pretty rare. You can sense a sort of nostalgia, especially knowing it was shot before the filmmaker left New York. It’s dedicated to Stan Brakhage, which adds a layer of artistic homage, reflecting a certain experimental ethos of the time. The pacing feels natural, almost like you’re just wandering through the space with the camera, observing life as it unfolds in that vibrant atmosphere.

Ming Green has seen limited circulation over the years, often appearing in niche collections or specialty screenings focused on experimental cinema. It's not easily found in standard formats, making it a bit of a treasure for collectors, particularly those who appreciate the avant-garde. Its scarcity and unique production style keep it on the radar of enthusiasts, who recognize the significance of its artistic approach and the homage to Brakhage.
