"DEATH OF A TELETYPE" (B&W, 200 ft.: 5 1/2 min., 1997)

By David Hildebrand


Film Description/Synopsis.

The images presented here are shadows -- echoes; the last rites of a machine
(and its identification and/or association with humanity). As the focal point
changes from one point of view to the next, each mechanical function reveals
its role, hence, making its own statement. Eventually, the wheels and gears
come to a halt. An almost human "skull" like image is later seen more 
visably (sic) to be the end of an electric motor -- the very heart of the 
machine -- stopped, with smoke trailing out of it. The machine has ceased. 
Unknowingly, it has lived much of the life of its creator.

There is a link to view the 5-1/2 minute film but the link does not work.
