An Aesthetic Quality

An Aesthetic Quality was shot in the early part of 1967. It was originally made in 8mm but has been blown up to 16mm with an optical soundtrack.”Obern’s camera wanders around an apartment filled with an incredible amount of Nazi memorabilia while the soundtrack a rather vacuous voice – perhaps the actual collector’s? – tells us how beautiful this stuff really is. The effect is almost sickening as a piece of authentic concentration camp footage.” – Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times (April 11, 1967)
