“Ringling Bros., filmed in 1966, in three sessions (three ringed circus), colours, motions and memories of a circus. Edited in camera (an exercise in instantaneous structuring). Sound by Jim Kweski’s jug band (can be watched also silently). Dedicated to Kenneth Anger who provided the Ektachrome film stock, in one of my many dry periods.” – J.M.
(Included in full in Walden.)
