About This Movie

Site (1964) is an intriguing piece that captures the experimental essence of its time, featuring performances by Robert Morris and Carolee Schneemann. The atmosphere is somewhat abstract, almost dreamlike, with a pacing that feels intentionally erratic, mirroring the avant-garde movements of the 60s. It’s not just about the visuals; the way Morris and Schneemann engage with the space around them offers layers of meaning, often blurring the lines between performer and audience. The practical effects, though minimal, emphasize the raw energy and spontaneity of the performance, distinguishing it from more conventional works of the era.

Site has a somewhat limited distribution history, making original prints a bit of a rarity. Its experimental nature and the involvement of Morris and Schneemann pique interest among collectors of avant-garde cinema. While not widely known, it garners a niche appreciation for its exploration of performance and space, often sought after in specialized circles of film enthusiasts.
