To the Dairy

About This Movie

So, 'To the Dairy' from 1977 is this fascinating piece that really captures a unique moment in the London Filmmakers' Co-op scene. It's raw, almost dreamlike, and it feels like you're stepping into this ephemeral space that was both a creative hub and a crumbling relic. The pacing is deliberate, inviting you to linger on the imagery as it unfolds, creating this sense of nostalgia mixed with a bit of urgency. The atmosphere is thick with history and the DIY spirit of the time, which resonates throughout the film. Although the director's name seems lost to time, what stands out is the visual poetry and the palpable connection to the filmmakers working in that era. It’s definitely a gem for those who appreciate experimental cinema.

This film has a bit of an elusive quality to it, which makes it interesting for collectors. It's not widely distributed, and finding a good print can be quite the hunt. There are some rare editions out there, but due to the obscure nature of the director and the project's underground roots, it can fetch a decent price among collectors who value the experimentation of the time.
