Entr'acte2013

The scene is set in front of a French chateau. The camera chases improbable incidents across the screen. Many are constructed out of one of Lawrence Jordan's favorite engravings illustrators: Louis Poyet.

After GYMNOPEDIES, Lawrence Jordan had wanted to animate a film specifically for a pre-selected piano piece by Erik Satie. MOONLIGHT SONATA is that film.

Mostly on black space, the figures in blue perform a very compact and jewel-like opera in surreal form to Erik Satie's piano music.

Lawrence Jordan's THE VISIBLE COMPENDIUM is a catalog of "possible experiences, some at normal time, some speeded up or slowed down, some continuous, others broken up."

Lawrence Jordan writes, "Many of the approaches to the cut-out material are the same as in part SOLAR SIGHT I, however SOLAR SIGHT II is a much different film. It is more meditative. I tried to let the cut-outs float more gracefully."

The dream-like form of disparate animated scenes, each with its own "romantic-with-an-edge" slightly surreal flavour, are sometimes run-on, sometimes separated by brief periods of darkness to relax.
