Michael Snow: Back and Forth <—> / One Second in Montreal (1969 / 1969)
52m / 18m · 16mm

In a grade school classroom, first we look back, and then forth, and then back again… With no consistency in character, plot, image, or sensation, Back and Forth is a superposition of all of Snow’s films bundled into one, a phantasmagoric horror. One Second is actually 1,037 seconds of still photographs from Montreal. Searching for purpose and pattern among the images, advance location scouting for a monument, yet with no sense of scale.
