Marvo Movie

Year: 1967
First public viewing: 1970

The methods Jeff Keen uses in Marvo Movie are good examples of what places a film in the Experimental genre.  These elements include a wide range of techniques such as multiple exposures, animation, montage as well as other thematic and theoretical concepts.
 
In the film, pulp fiction characters perform subversions of consumer culture, blending with collage images, composing a kaleidoscopic view of popular British media.  We see how Keen showed interest in every aspect of the process, through performance, creating costumes and how he animated each frame one at a time to create this distinct work.
