unlike the bolex, the auricon was capable of shooting a film with sync sound, without the need for a soundtrack recorded separately. although the quality was not as good as recording a separate soundtrack, it was very convenient and often used by television reporters for covering news events. empire was the first film that warhol made with the new camera - however, it was a silent film so it didn' t utilize the camera' s sound capabilities. empire was originally conceived as a sound film with henry geldzahler, gerard malanga, jonas mekas and filmmaker, john palmer, talking in the background (l & d206) .
a special film selection committee was created to begin to compile such a repertory. the understanding was that the committee would constitute a permanent part of anthology film archives and that it would continue into the future reviewing old and new cinema works, in all their different manifestations, and keep adding and expanding the essential cinema repertory collection .

in 1968, thanks to the foresight of jerome hill, a filmmaker and a visionary philanthropist, there arose an occasion to create in new york a film museum dedicated exclusively to film as an art. lengthy discussions took place to determine the purposes and functions of the new museum. it was decided that one of its main functions would be to serve as a continuous critical tool in the investigation of the essential works created in cinema. therefore it was decided to create what became known as the essential cinema repertory collection .
a very special series of films screened on a repertory basis, the essential cinema repertory collection consists of 110 programs / 330 titles assembled in 1970 - 75 by anthology’s film selection committee: james broughton, ken kelman, peter kubelka, p. adams sitney, and jonas mekas .

swan lake
for his wife who was now condemned to beasts, waxed jealous of her husband and began to suspect the young woman as a harlot and common queane, insomuch that shee invented all manner of meanes to dispatch her out of the way .

harlot is the 2007 poetry anthology by jill alexander essbaum. it was published by no tell books. it has 39 poems which focus on issues of god, sex, and death. this combination of christianity and sexuality is a hallmark of essbaum' s work, and all reviews commented on it. it was essbaum' s fifth collection of poetry overall. h. l. hix wrote “one hears [ in harlot ] herbert and wyatt and donne, their parallax view of religion as sex and sex as religion … their fondling and squeezing of language. ”
the i understanding the cause of his miserable estate, sayd unto him, in faith thou art worthy to sustaine the most extreame misery and calamity, which hast defiled and maculated thyne owne body, forsaken thy wife traitorously, and dishonoured thy children, parents, and friends, for the love of a vile harlot and old strumpet .
this proclamation was the cause that put all doubt from psyches, who was scantly come in the sight of the house of venus, but one of her servants called custome came out, who espying psyches, cried with a loud voyce, saying: o wicked harlot as thou art, now at length thou shalt know that thou hast a mistresse above thee .
but i, beside the shame to commit this horrible fact, and to pollute my body with this wicked harlot did greatly feare the danger of death: for i thought in my selfe, that when she and i were together, the savage beast appointed to devoure the woman, was not so instructed and taught, or would so temper his greedinesse, as that hee would teare her in peeces lying under mee, and spare mee with a regard of mine innocency .

the star of harlot, mario montez, was andy' s first drag queen superstar - although montez preferred to call his dressing up as a female as
going into costume
. montez worked for the post office when he wasn' t making films. as a
very religious
roman catholic puerto rican, montez thought (according to popism) that although being in drag was a sin, if god really hated it, he would have struck him dead. montez had appeared in off - off - broadway plays and had done a lot of acting in the underground films of jack smith as well appearing in the films of ron rice, jose rodriquez - soltero, bill vehr and helio oiticica.

after that we had passed a great part of our journey, we came to a village where we lay all night, but harken, and i will tell you what mischiefe happened there: you shall understand there was a servant to whom his master had committed the whole government of his house, and was master of the lodging where we lay: this servant had married a maiden of the same house, howbeit he was greatly in love with a harlot of the towne, and accustomed to resort unto her, wherewith his wife was so highly displeased and became so jealous, that she gathered together all her husbands substance, with his tales and books of account, and threw them into a light fire: she was not contented with this, but she tooke a cord and bound her child which she had by her husband, about her middle and cast her selfe headlong into a deepe pit .
tavel was born in brooklyn in may 1941 (imdb). although he wrote plays from the age of fifteen, none of them were produced until he had already started writing films. prior to working with warhol, he had worked with jack smith, including doing props for flaming creatures .
so, i knew all those people with ron rice, who did the flower thief and those are a whole community of underground filmmakers to which, in a sense, warhol was johnny - come - lately' cause it was... you know... he would have entered at almost the last phase of its heyday .

tavel' s scripts were taken as a starting point for the films. the actors would often improvise (as they often forgot the lines that had been given to them) or handwritten signs would be held up telling them what to do as they were being filmed .
we discovered... when we used stars or potential stars that very few had enough steam to go their own, and that a great many of them panicked when the camera was turned on and they didn' t have the security of a script to work with .

it was an ambitious attempt to define the art of cinema. the project was never completed, but even in its unfinished state the series provides an uncompromising critical overview of cinema’s history .
with the enthusiastic support of jerome hill, the committee, consisting of p. adams sitney, peter kubelka, james broughton, ken kelman, and myself – and for a brief period stan brakhage – began its work. during the following few years it held numerous and lengthy selection sessions, compiling the first essential cinema repertory collection consisting of about 330 titles .
but fate had other plans for us. in february 1973 jerome hill died. the avon foundation, jerome’s foundation behind the anthology project, which had built a special, invisible cinema theater, designed by peter kubelka and had paid for the acquisition of all the prints voted into the essential cinema collection and the running of anthology, was taken over by people who did not share jerome’s vision. all funding to the anthology project was cut off. anthology had to move from the 425 lafayette street location, first to 80 wooster street, then to 491 broadway, and then to its present location. the essential cinema repertory project was frozen until such time as another visionary such as jerome hill will appear .
the essential cinema repertory, from its very inception, was strongly and sometimes wildly attacked by those who were not familiar with the history of the project for exclusion of many important films. they were not aware of the fact that the essential cinema repertory was intended to serve as a permanent critical tool with new titles continuously added including possibly the titles that the critics of anthology had in mind .
