Terry Gilliam was originally influenced by Stan Vanderbeek, the underground experimental film maker. Before building his moviedrome, animating on computers in 1967 and projecting on steam, Vanderbeek made brilliant politcal satire films using cut-out animation in the 50's and 60's. These films are available from the New York Filmmaker's Coop, the MoMA, the London Filmmakers' Co-op, Light Cone Paris, etc. Today many many filmmakers still work with cutout animation. A recent notable example is "Altair" by Lewis Klahr. -Pip Chodorov ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
