Spot the Microdot - Malcolm Le Grice, 1969

This film was handmade by punching circular holes into fully opaque 16mm film stock at rhythmic intervals. Discs of colour film have been laid into some of the holes. Only the original copy of this film exists – it cannot be printed and is therefore projected only on rare occasions. As with other Le Grice films from the late 1960s, Spot the Microdot is marked by a radical rejection of ‘illusionism’, choosing to focus instead on the material properties of the film medium itself.
