Plan of Brussels
1968/2000, 16mm, color, sound, 18 minutes
Cast: Robert Beavers, Gisèle Frumkin, René Micha, Jacques Ledoux, Pierre Apraxine, Dimitri Balachoff and others
Text: Duvelor by Michel de Ghelderode
Filmed in Belgium (Brussels)
Note: The final edit combines both films on a single reel.
Shedding all traces of narrative in Plan of Brussels, Beavers filmed himself in a hotel room, both at his work desk and lying naked on the bed, while in rapid rhythmic cutting, and sometime in superimposition, the phantasmagoria of people he met in Brussels and images from the streets flood his mind.
(P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment)
