Carl:
The OCTOBER issue number 116 (not 166) mentions Branko Vučićević''s book PAPER MOVIES. I've read
excerpts from various sources but as far as I know there is no English translation of the entire book.

Mr. Checefsky -
Wondering: is Branco V's "Paper Movies" available in English?
Thanks -

Thanks, Andy. I've looked at Cornell's Monsieur Phot and considered making the
film for over a year now
(probably longer). After reading Pavle Levi's interesting article titled
'Doctor Hypnison and the Case of
Written Cinema (October 166, Spring 2006), in which he describes a scenario by
poet Monny de Boully as
a 'paper movie', written never to be filmed, (Film critic Branko
Vučićević' wrote about this in his book titled
Paper Movies), I believe this was likely the case with Cornell's Monsieur Phot.
Andrew Lampert thought
Cornell didn't attempt to make the film which makes sense from the research.
But i still wonder if he
wrote the scenario with the idea of making the film later, or did he published
it as a 'paper film'. Have you
read the scenario? what do you think?
thanks bruce
Joseph Cornell's "Monsieur Phot," a scenario for an unmade film, published 1936
in Julien Levy's book
"Surrealism" and reprinted (I believe) in P. Adams Sitney's anthology titled
"The Avant-Garde Film."
