(I haven't seen this yet) but have you seen any of the flicker films from
the 60s - for example Tony Conrad? - Alan

THE FIRST MOVIE
2006
This movie simply alternates between black and white frames, but I find the
effect produced by such a simple device to be far more interesting than the
description might suggest. If you gaze directly at the movie, I suspect you
will see, as did I, a definite chocolate-tinted background, with all kinds of
cracks and fissures within the frame, which I assume are related to the
configuration of retinal nerves within one?s own eyeballs. So in effect it is
a movie about looking upon the walls of the eye-cave, and hence is a movie
about the source of vision itself.
