520 |a This DVD release of the silent experimental film by Ken Jacobs begins by presenting the entire eight-shot, 10-minute 1905 short film Tom, Tom, the piper's son originally produced by American Mutoscope and Biograph Company. The filmmaker then rephotographs it in detail; some segments are run in slow motion, some enlarged, some in freeze frame, etc. Two color sequences were also added. 
520 |a "Tom, Tom, the piper's son (115 min, 1969, silent except for projector at beginning and end): Ghosts! Cine-recordings of the vivacious doings of persons long dead. Preservation of their memory ceases at the edges of the frame. One face passes "behind" another on the two-dimensional screen. Seven infinitely complex cine-tapestries indicate a narrative-path not taken. My camera closes in to better see the action, playing with fate, taking advantage of the loop-character of all movies. I see a person, confused, suddenly looking out of an actor's face. But I want to show another kind of screen-action, to "bring to the surface" that multi-rhythmic collision and contesting of dark and light two-dimensional force-areas struggling edge to edge for identity of shape. To get into the grain pattern itself, unique to each frame, each cold still, stirred to life by a successive 16-24 fps pattering on our retinas. The grains! the grains! collaborating unknowing to form the always-poignant-because-always-past illusion."--Ken Jacobs. 
538 |a DVD-R. 
520 |a "A Tom Tom chaser: (10 min, 2002, silent): An electronic riff on "Tom, Tom, the piper's son". Inspired by watching Scot Olive, master technician at The Tape House (now Postworks), zip forward and back on their Spirit scanner. I asked Scot if we could record some of this electronic scribbling incidental to film-to-digital transfer. Sure, he said, and I stood cheering him on to wilder aberrations. What we got is pretty much what you see here, less some judicious excisions."--Ken Jacobs.
