The sound of his face

A "filmed biography" of Kirk Douglas -- literally. Pages of a book -- the lines of text, and the tiny dots comprising the half-tone photographs -- create odd musical notes, which are edited into a pounding rhythm. This film examines the molecular fabric of Hollywood superficiality. Winner: Juror's Choice, SFAI Film Festival, 1988. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2015.
