Analytic Studies II: Un-Frame-Lines (1971): cast, story & where to watch
1971 · Film

Released in 1971, Analytic Studies II: Un-Frame-Lines is a notable film directed by Paul Sharits.
What it’s about. A highly varied and playful series of short sketches involving induced camera "mistakes," printing "errors" and various "assaults" upon film (some rephotographed) which in one way or another reveal the process/materiality of cinema. The "unframing" called for in this film (bringing the top frame line down into the viewing area as is possible by adjusting the projector framer) is a way of heightening the intended unmasking of the usually hidden vulnerability/fragility of the film strip.
