A choreographed motion study for twinkling trinkets, beaming baubles, and glaring glimmers. A bow ballet ablaze (for bedazzled buoyant bijoux brought up to boil).

# 2 in a series of personal short super 8 films called " The Quotidian Lyrics ".

Threnody: a song of lamentation for the dead. Filmed over a period of two years in various old cemeteries in Thetford, Vermont, where I live, and surrounding towns. Music by Noveller ( Sarah Lipstate ).

Sometime in the mid-70's, my good friend Bill McGowan had an idea for a film. He needed someone to film it, so I and my trusty super 8 camera took on the job. Shot on the streets of Boston early one morning. Music by 10cc. Check out those pants!

I love music of all kinds, therefore it's rare for one of my films to not have musical accompaniment. However, the majority of the time, the film comes first and after it's edited I search for a piece of music that fits the films length, rhythms, and tone. It is the opposite with this film, as it was for Tomorrow Never Knows. Boy With a Fish is a wonderful indie-rock band from Ithaca, NY, that deserves wider attention. When I first heard the surreal lyrics to this song I immediately wanted to attempt to express them cinematically. This is the result.

A super 8 film conceived and shot by my friend Franklin Johnson around 1975 with additional footage shot by me.
