About This Movie

"Note to Pati" is a 1969 film that combines elements of diary-like autobiographies with an experimental style. This work from director Saul Levine explores a winter scene in a suburban neighborhood after a snowstorm.

The film presents everyday imagery, capturing the moment when children enjoy an unexpected day off from school. With its focus on play in a winter wonderland, it evokes themes of innocence and transience.

Saul Levine employs diffused and faded images, creating an ephemeral quality that enhances the film's reflective nature. The disorienting rapid cut editing and restless camerawork contribute to a feeling of instability, making the viewer experience the fleeting moments of joy and childhood wonder.

Note to Pati has had limited releases over the years, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. The film's experimental nature and its connection to influential figures like Mekas and Brakhage heighten its appeal, drawing interest from those who appreciate the avant-garde. Original prints are scarce, and while there have been some home video releases, the elusive nature of this film adds to its mystique within collector circles.
