IT'S MURDER (1977) - Early Feature Length Film by Sam Raimi
19
Upvotes
Continuing on the topic of Sam Raimi, IT'S MURDER (1977) is a Super 8 feature-length film created by Raimi and friends when Raimi was a student at Michigan State University. While never released commercially, the film did play several local theaters and turned a profit - which gave Raimi the confidence to tackle THE EVIL DEAD (1981). This video transfer is atrocious but worth a view for curiosity's sake.

IGGY POP: COLD METAL (1988) - Directed by Sam Raimi

🎬 : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6137862/
Obscure music video directed by Sam Raimi. Apparently Raimi, Bruce Campbell and others in their filmmaking crew were huge fans of THE STOOGES, and went completely bonkers when they got a chance to make a music video for Iggy Pop.

Created by multimedia artist Bruce Conner for the 1965 New York Film Festival, which was rejected for being too fast. Conner would later take the 16mm film frames and create a poster for the festival, which I'll post below in the comments.

Sorry for the awful quality, this is all I can find on it.
In 2000, anime character designer and animator, Toshihiro Kawamoto, partnered with Mondo Media and Mark Giambruno to create the flash animated web series "Spiral". A pilot was pitched to Mondo Media but was never greenlit for a full series. The pilot remains lost and this footage found in a demo reel is all that is found.

Clearing - The Changes/What Makes a City (1971)

Clearing are amazing. There is a deep, magical purity to their music that evokes both the dark and light of humanity and spirituality. Ancient but very much alive. For me, they are one of those bands that is so transcendentally perfect for my tastes, that it is hard for me to believe that they exist, even when holding their records in my hands. For me, they are The Velvet Underground of haunting, minimalist, commune folk music.

This was created years ago by Darkwork Creations on Youtube. It features the movie in chronological order, and even has do it yourself computer animation and voice over for scenes not available in any form besides the script.
I may try to update the edit one day with the further material found in the Arrow Video workprint and remix the audio. It'll be a huge project and I don't see me working on it anytime soon.
