DESCRIPTION:\n	In The Shadow of the Sun. Dir. Derek Jarman. 1981\, 51 mins.
  DCP source: Basilisk Communications. Preceded by The Birth of the Robot. 
 Dir. Len Lye. 1936\, 6 mins. 16mm print source: Nga Taonga Sound &amp\; Vi
 sion. Len Lye's and Humphrey Jennings's collaborative work The Birth of th
 e Robot and Jarman’s Super-8 montage In the Shadow of the Sun are otherwor
 ldly audiovisual artifacts. One of Jennings's few ventures into color film
 making (he later denounced color as antithetical to his documentary experi
 mentation)\, Robot is a bizarre advertisement for Shell Oil in which surre
 alist stop-motion figurines act out a disjointed myth of how robots came t
 o be. (It involves a psychedelic drive through the Egyptian desert and som
 e incredible montage of rainbow color plates and cartoon skulls to the sou
 ndtrack of Gustav Holst’s Planets symphony.) In the Shadow of the Sun has 
 a markedly similar palette to Robot\, and also makes occultist use of skul
 ls and pyramids in its sublime overlaid montages. Its droning score by Thr
 obbing Gristle is the film’s pulsating heart\, and as such it is one of th
 e more collaborative features in Jarman’s oeuvre. (Note: Humphrey Jennings
 's creative role in Lye's film is a source of continued debate. Many descr
 iptions relegate him to the level of a stop-motion figurine maker\, but he
  is also listed as in charge of 'color direction and production\,' and the
 re is reason to think he may have been an uncredited co-director.) \n	\n
