If you are interested in contemporary work, I recommend the lovely film
CEREUS and WHATNOT by Carolyn Kaylor. The Night-Blooming Cereus or Queen of
the Night is a guiding metaphor and literal presence throughout the film.
It's in color...
"*Cereus & Whatnot*, is a dramatic tale of nature in captivity featuring an
enigmatic plant, a botanist, his dog, and a silent screen heroin. Through a
concoction of documentary and fiction, the film explores cycles of birth and
death and cinematic expectation."
Many years in the making, *Cereus&Whatnot*, was shot almost entirely on
super 8 and optically printed to 16mm by the filmmaker.
Completed in February of 2006, *Cereus&Whatnot*, had its world premier at
the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands and has gone on
to screen around the world, including, the Museum of Modern Art in NYC,
REDCAT theater in Los Angeles, Exis 2007 in Seoul Korea.
