Michael, regarding your research... I don't know if you'd
be interested but one of my colleages published a book a
poetry a short while ago that included a passage where she
dreamt that she made a camera-less film simply by carving
the movie into her forearm. The poets name is Lisa Gill
from Albuquerque, New Mexico and her book is titled
French.
best,
