The Banal Becomes the Interesting

While watching Emak-Bakia (1926) I was reminded of the way Warhol filmed. Emak-Bakia is like putting clips of every day life in a blender and seeing what came out. I'm hesitant to respond because I don't think I fully understand what Man Ray was going for in this piece. I plan on making an updated post on another day after it sinks in. If nothing else it's really cool and amazing that films like this were being made in 1926.



Here's a clip that gives a quick overview of some of Warhol's films. If you can't tell- its not actually a theatrical trailer.


Also- as a class I think we can appreciate the top comment on the Emak-Bakia film...
