Ted Lyman Films

Scotland with No Clothes, 10 minutes, 16mm, Color, Sound

“… a 10-minute film that is playfully reminiscent of Michael Snow. As the camera zooms slowly into a waterfall, the mesmerizing soundtrack of gushing water rises steadily and builds to a grand crescendo. Tension and release, dramatic arc, climax—all achieved without a single human character.”  Girish Shambu – Artvoice

 

“A portrait of a place: specifically, a waterfall in Scotland.  However, more than just a recording of a landscape – it also captures a moment of experience – pure experience – pure cinema.”   Program notes: Floating Beneath the Surface: Films of Ted Lyman, Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles
