Edited, for length, as part of the Chelsea Hotel Series - Anthology Film Archives, April 2009
Harry Smith discusses hand drawn film techniques, missing films, the process of "visual music," or painting to sound. Smith also discusses borrowed cameras and the pawn shops they end up in, influences through dance and myth, surrealism, op art, and the cataloging of images and "sortilege" method. Interview finishes with the discussion of a future film idea involving Andy Warhol and a 20 minute picture of Mt. Fuji, Jack Smith, Robert Frank, Stan Vanderbeek animating aboriginal bark painting, a screenplay by Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs and maybe Allen Ginsberg, with Smith supervising. Also ideas to make and distribute underground movies to be shown in little towns.
Audio transferred, compiled, and edited by Victoria Keddie (NYU) for Anthology Film Archives 04/09/09.

A H.S. Edit-To cut down a 6hr handmade film to 1hr. wow.
A great important audio document here. But for this youtube slide show(as clear and beautiful as the images are) corresponding images do exist to what Smith is describing.
With Manteca, has anybody figured out or witnessed what line-to-note? H.S. means. I have seen the painting and know there are separate shapes, but as to an order? Or if he ever showed his jazz paintings/ films live with the Dizzy or Monk?
