Footprints

‘Footprints is an impressionistic fusion of film history and poetic vision. Bill Morrison achieves a lyrical examination of the process of perception and the development of motion pictures. Alternately humorous and edgy, Morrison’s rhythmic editing gives the film a visual pulse, like a heartbeat.’ – Jan Christopher Horak, Curator, International Film Festival of Montage 1993.
‘One of his most virtuosic, Footprints is a six-minute riff on technology and evolution that combines the 20th Century Fox logo, Muybridge, Island of the Lost Souls, running animals and a Deren-inspired walk in the sand.’ – Manohla Dargis, Village Voice.
