Day Million by Frederik Pohl
This famous short story about sex (& other things) in the far future was written by Frederik Pohl in a single evening in 1966. It took me a year or two to finish my version. Benton Bainbridge, Heejeon Choi and I did almost everything: shoot Mr. Pohl reading, storyboard, props, acted, built models, sewed costumes, shot, animated, edited and whatever else - all to bring you this elusive, allusive, loose sieve of a visual recasting of a jazzy, fantastic sf story. This experimental video actually embodied an experiment. We tried to offer visuals that respected the ambiguities of the text as much as we were able. Even the faces of Dan and Dora, stunning as they are, flutter briefly like butterflies in the distance. We use many pungent but deliberately low res materials to oblige you to fill in the blanks, not unlike text itself. This is the first of two parts. If you are not accessing it through its playlist, part 2 may be reached via: www.youtube.com This film is copyright 2002 by Eric Solstein & DMZ
