Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Emak-Bakia (Basque for Leave me alone) is a 1926 film directed by Man Ray. Subtitled as a cinépoéme, it features many techniques Man Ray used in his still photography (for which he is better known), including Rayographs, double exposure, soft focus and ambiguous features. The film features sculptures by Pablo Picasso, and some of Man Ray’s mathematical objects both still and animated using a stop motion technique.

Viewing Notes
This short is really nice and takes Man Ray’s Dada into more surrealism. Very dreamlike playing with time and images along with the shapes and shadows. Would love to see all his films projected in a small theater. Of course I’d need a coffee bc this one really brings the sleepy.
This is third experimental short film on the WHAT IS CINEMA dvd.
