Décollages Recollés (1961)

Decollages Recolles is a mystery as it is unfinished with no indication of the track Hirsh intended We had two reels each with a head title but no identification whether they were to be printed together or projected side by side which seems more likely Parts of reel one have optically printed layers of fireworks oscilloscopes birds etc Hirsh reprinted images similar to those in Eneri Come Closer and Divertissement Rococo Reel two is a much less polished collage with live action shots including city windows a marching band monkeys circus performers Charlie Chaplin footage and Paris neon at night Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with iotaCenter and National Film Preservation Foundation in 2000
