Publisher's Synopsis
This history of the fertile but ambiguous relationship between visual arts and cinema during the 20th century is punctuated by a number of landmarks - 'La Verifica Incerta' released in 1964 by Italian artists Gianfranco Baruchello and Alberto Griffi is one such. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp and supported by John Cage, 'La Verifica Incerta' is the perfect offspring from the encounter between Cinecittà and avant-garde expression. As assemblage of extracts taken from 450,000 feet of footage from the 1950's purchased by the artists before their destruction, it is a schizophrenic yet ironic kaleidoscope about mass cinema and B-movies. This DVD comprises the 35-minute-long film 'La Verifica Incerta'.
