CRICKET REQUIEM is a handpainted and elaborately stepprinted film which juxtaposes bent sometimes sawtooth scratch shapes multiply colored in pastels on a white field juxtaposed with emerging and sometimes retreating bipack imagery of the faintest imaginable lines solarized lines etched in brownblack This interplay continues until the latter imagery begins to dominate with increasing recurrence Then suddenly theres a vibrant mix of thick black lines which is echoed once again near end of film that alters the increasingly colored bent lines and their thinstringy accompaniment with rhythms which suggest a stately and emphatic end Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2016
