Slides

About This Movie

So, 'Slides' is this intriguing, almost meditative piece from 1971 that really plays with the idea of fleeting moments. The way it uses fragmented film and those old 35 mm slides, all sewn together, creates a kind of dreamlike atmosphere. It’s got this unique pacing, almost feels like you're drifting through memories. The visuals can be quite striking, especially with those light leaks and the mix of 8mm and 16mm footage. It’s not conventional, but that's what makes it stand out. It’s less about a plot and more about the experience of matter and memory, which can hit you in some unexpected ways.

This film has a certain rarity to it, as it doesn't pop up often on the usual home video formats. Many collectors appreciate its experimental nature, which sets it apart from mainstream releases. The unique blending of different film formats and techniques makes it a curiosity worth exploring for those into avant-garde cinema. While not the easiest to find in good condition, it often sparks interesting discussions among serious collectors.
