19 April, “Film (1965) and NOTFILM (2015), plus a Q & A with Ross Lipman”

The Department of Film and Media Studies and the Samuel Beckett Project; Emory University, White Hall 208

Beckett’s first venture in film was his 1964 production entitled FILM starring Buster Keaton and directed by Alan Schneider. Beckett was on-location during the filming in New York, his only visit to the United States; he also participated actively in the filming and editing process with Academy Award-winning cinematographer Boris Kaufman and film editor Sidney Meyers.

Archivist/filmmaker Ross Lipman offers a sneak preview of his work-in-progress, NOTFILM, slated for international release by Milestone in 2015. NOTFILM is a feature-length experimental essay on FILM’s production and its philosophical implications, utilizing additional outtakes, never before heard audio recordings of the production meetings, and other rare archival elements.
