Molten Shadows

‘Bruce Woods comes from Chicago which is rapidly becoming a major centre for experimental film, due largely to the energy of ‘Filmgroup’. Woods is also one of the most prolific of young American film-makers. His work is highly original and should be seen. He combines subtlety and rigour, limiting himself to black and white and grey tones between, recording abstract images always through the camera, and never directly (by painting or etching) onto the film. His work shows no obvious film influences, but would seem to be in the tradition of Pollock, Kline and Poons.’ – William Raban.
