PATH OF CESSATION
FULTON SEEMS TO CHOREOGRAPH THE RHYTHMS OF MOVEMENTS WITHIN THE FRAME IN RELATION TO THE MOVEMENTS OF THE CAMERA.
PATH OF CESSATION BY ROBERT E FULTON III (1974). FULTON RIVETS OUR ATTENTION TO BOTH CALM AND EXPLOSIVE IMAGERY WITH A MEANING THAT MUST ONLY BE PERSONAL FOR FULTON AND HIS AUDIENCE. A MASTERWORK IN ALL ASPECTS.
"A transition from a static study of a Nepalese courtyard to a swirling collage of exotic overlay. This is quite an amazing film." - Calvin Ahlgren, San Francisco Chronicle
"We are not tricked into the belief that we've visited Tibet by proxy. Here is the wonder of your works, Bob: that you know, always, whatever part of the World you bounce light off, you are in yr. own backyard ... albeit all these strange (and familiar) creatures move thru that infinite 'yard' of yr. mind. How simply wonderful .... Each film a growth: all of the same spirit. What more can I say but ... Thanks!" - Stan Brakhage
