Automatic Free Form Film

"I would like to say something else in relation to the Automatic Free Form Film movement. The camera was constantly moving. Movement was used to elucidate space. This is a concept that I have continued to develop and have worked on in other films. I have a great interest in what happens to the edges of the camera frame when it moves. Automatic Free Form Film was done by working with shapes and specifically with the shapes of light and with the specific shapes of objects. When the camera moves, it changes the whole perspective of what we see." -BG
