Positive Negative Electronic Faces

About This Movie

So, Positive Negative Electronic Faces is pretty intriguing, right? It's this experimental piece by Ed Emshwiller and Anthony Bannon, made in '73, which already gives it that unique edge. The film dives into themes of identity and perception, using practical effects that are, well, striking in their rawness. You feel the atmosphere is charged with this avant-garde energy, and the pacing has that hypnotic quality, pulling you deeper into its visual explorations. It's not your typical narrative, and that's what makes it distinctive; it really invites you to engage with the medium itself in a way that feels so personal and thought-provoking.

This film is somewhat elusive in the collector's market. Most known versions are on older formats, and it tends to show up in niche festivals or retrospectives, making it a rarity for home video collectors. If you can find a screening or a tape, it’s worth checking out, as it’s not just about watching, but experiencing something that feels both timeless and deeply experimental.
