Charles Plymell

Wayne Sourbeer deftly combines visual forms, the original poetry of Kansas-born poet Charles Plymell and an original music score by David Levinson, who was at the time, associate conductor of the Wichita Symphony. Montage II: Ephemeral Blue is the quintessential example of what continental film critics have called “non-verbal communication.” Sourbeer’s images are the foundation for Plymell’s verbal abstractions and Levinson’s brilliant musical score.

"Dear Jonas Mekas, Here are two films I made one time in Frisco, you may want for COOP. They were in Ann Arbor Fest '65. The animated one is pretty fast. It keeps anti-matter flying, that is in ultra slick conjuctorums - a shot of the first orgone machien- it's mostly fantasy - this film..." - Charles Plymell in a letter to Mekas, published in Film-Makers Cooperative Catalogue #4
