Description
“The excellent people at Cinedoc – Paris Films Coop provide us with a spectacular DVD containing no less than 27 films by Alexandre Alexeïeff. The DVD includes the magnificent and highly acclaimed Night on Bald Mountain (1933), inspired by Mussorgsky’s music. Alexandre Alexeïeff, one of the best-known early animators, is the inventor of the pinscreen technique, in which each image is created by manipulating a million or more tiny pins illuminated at an angle.”
— Trond Trondsen
“Aside from Second Run’s Love release, Criterion’s remarkable editions (*Ugetsu*, Balthazar, Pickpocket, etc.) and Artificial Eye’s wonderful Van Gogh – my favorite release this year remains this rich Alexeïeff box set, which highlights his incredible pinscreen animation.”
