does anyone own a copy of this stroboscopic film, or know where i can get one or is it just for museums only ?
Anyone have any knowlidge ?
There's some options other than "i can own a video" and "museums only", eh? The film's readily available for rental from Canyon Cinema in the US
http://www.canyoncinema.com/ and LUX in the UK
http://www.lux.org.uk/ ... LUX is in London and at worst a "viewing for students and researchers" might be arranged onsite.
I feel compelled to point out that
The Flicker is one of a class of films that aren't available on video for good reason: the experience of watching the film
does not happen on video -- it's dependent on (a) being projected and (b) on the apparatus of the film projector, the physiological relationship between the eye and the shutter.
The Flicker on video is like watching a Doris Day movie & thinking you've learned something about sex.
