Cinefuge 4&5

Part of a sub-series of Came ra Dances using the camera as a centrifuge. John dances with the camera, swinging it around himself on a long cord, keeping it always aimed at himself, while it turns its own way on the cord. Developed from a scene in John's 16mm student film Independent Filmmaking (1974), and inspired by a scene from Sergio Leone's movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
The only sound ‘Cinefuge’, it begins with a sync-sound version (#5) shot as a TV commercial, with John talking to the viewer about his upcoming show at The Funnel Experimental Film Theatre in Toronto. It ends with version #4 with John's friend, dancer Judith Miller, joining the dance, and which was shot on silent film, then sound-striped and post-dubbed with out-take sounds from version #5.
