Eye Reels

An entangled meld of Celtic-flavored abstractions, home movies and an Irish dance fest that was all edited throughout with those very moves in mind. Quick shots and dense patterning, within the film, echo that found in embroidery, lace, stone and metal work - - all of which grows out of the very language - - both in sound and calligraphic look. That tapestry-like interweave becomes the very edit and ‘fabric’ of this film. In memory of my maternal grandmother, Winifred Egan.

This film has been published as part of the blu-ray Prismatic Music - The Super 8 Films of Joseph Bernard.
