– “A l’intention de Mlle Issoufou a Bilma” –
Caroline de Bendern, 1971, 48 min

– “Hypnerotomachia” –
Andrei Svislotski, 1992, 9 min
Introducing music of Mikhail Chekalin.

– “The Transparent Screen” –
Bernard Parmegiani, 1973, 20 min.
1973 video by Bernard Parmegiani with accompanying musique concrete score. The source is a VHS rip, the origin of which is unclear. “L’Ecran transparent” comes from a fruitful period of audio-visual art during a residency in Köln, after Parmegiani had returned from a tour of the U.S. The score can be found separately on a 3″ CD called “Musique Concrete Soundtracks to Experimental Short Films, Vol. 6.”
