Bicycle France

10 minutes, 16mm, Color, Sound

An unreleased roll of film found in Fulton’s archive with an accompanying jazz soundtrack, simply labeled “Bicycle France.” A documentation of southern France, from the motion of anonymous cyclists. Smaller in scale than Fulton’s grand ethnographic documentaries, such as Inca Light, but with a similar attention to detail, shadow, and composition.

Likely from the 1970’s.

Structure Space

5 minutes, 16mm, Color, Silent

An unreleased film. Children on the beach, a nude woman swimming, a view from an airplane. Seemingly an exploration in heavily layered footage.

Likely from the early 1970’s.

Beta Structure Space

7 minutes, 16mm, B&W, Sound

A figure splashes through the waters of a semi-frozen world, near Aspen, Colorado.

A reel of film found in Fulton’s archive, with a significantly more restrained style compared to other Fulton works, while maintaining a granular connection with the natural world.

Likely from the late 60’s / early 1970’s.

Watch here.

Paris Non-Denumerably

9 minutes, 16mm, Color, Silent

An unreleased collection of home movies shot with Fulton’s signature composition and sense of fluidity. Possibly an unfinished film, or a test of corrective blue filters, likely from the early 1970’s.

Scenes from the home, the shore, and Colorado.

Alice Film (1971)

Paris Birth Film (1979)

Composite: 44 minutes, 16mm, Color, Sound
Reel 1: 39 minutes, 16mm, Color, Sound
Reel 2: 34 minutes, 16mm, Color, Silent
Reel 3: 44 minutes, 16mm, Color, Sound
Reel 4: 37 minutes, 16mm, Color, Silent

A story of Pregnancy and Birth. Shot in Paris in 100 days, silently following Fulton’s wife in enigmatic adoration leading up to the live birth of their child. The film was originally exhibited as four separate projectors running simultaneously on the same screen, similar to an earlier Fulton project: Street Film Part Zero (1975).

This Composite Restoration was created by archivists in an attempt to recreate the overlapping layered effect of all four reels in a digital format.

Kata (1967)

2 Minutes, 16mm, Color, Sound

One of Fulton’s early experiments in accelerating perception, which he dubbed “Omnivision.” Short bursts, single frames, autumn in New England.

“Nature, gymnastic movements, a cat ... The editing of Fulton and his handling of a camera are already amazing. Since his debut, the way he aligns his camera with gymnastics and martial arts movements is remarkable..”
