HD version: • Light Is Calling (HD)
Film by Bill Morrison (director, producer, editor) - billmorrisonfil...
Music by Michael Gordon (composer, ASCAP)
A scene from a deteriorating print of James Youngs The Bells (1926) was optically printed and re-edited to Michael Gordons 7 minute composition. A meditation on the nature of random collisions.

It feels like reaching out, grabbing forgotten moments in time and making them breathe again
Shut the fuck up!

It's almost as if the people in the video are ghosts, desperately trying to tell us their stories. Despite their struggle to tell us their stories and prove their significance, they are merely wisps from the past, almost completely forgotten and abandoned. And they know it.
The film brilliantly articulates what will eventually happen to all of us...
She's so correct, it's like waking up after a beautiful dream, trying to remember it and get back to it as it slowly fades away.
For some reason this made me cry
Memory, like old celluloid, is destined to decay, and as we look back in time we find we have emerged from a dream.
It's beautifully haunting, like images brought back from vague memories
No matter how many times I watch it for animated thinking, its still haunting to watch
Its like the earths life flashing before its eyes as its destroyed by the sun...both beautiful and apocalyptic.
no
two stories come to mind, both from world war 1, either a husband eventually returns home with the other soldiers, greets his wife and both go back to village. or its the soldiers memories of his wife that's having pictures taken of her on a field, he is dead but then when he greets her it's almost like she was dead too and was stepping into the spirit world by holding his hand. beautiful. thankyou. subscribed x
U got a b'ful mind! 👍
WOW..... THE MUSIC JUST MAKES THIS PIECE OF WORK SO CHILLING. WHAT A WONDERFUL PIECE OF ART. I JUST WATCHED IT BY MYSELF AT NIGHT WITH ALL THE LIGHTS OFF. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED NOTHING LIKE THAT. VERY CHILLING. THANK YOU CHILLS FROM TOP 15........
We must remember these movies!!!!!
J'adore ce film ! ... Sans doute le beau film que j'ai vu au festival des cinéma différents ( Paris)... J'était déjà fan de " Footprints" découvert d'abord à la télé dans SNARK alors que j'était étudiant puis vu enfin en 16mm au 102 rue d'Alembert (Grenoble) lors d'une soirée consacrée à Bill Morrison ... Le type est sympa aussi... "Light Is Calling" me tire encore presque des larmes... A chaque fois que je le revoit... Et moi, verser une larme çà m'arriva pas souvent, c'est l'effet de l'Olanzapine que je prend tous les soir dans l'espoir de rester libre... J'en pleure à nous veau ce soir en le revoyant...
I love that movie ! ... Without doubt the beautiful film that I saw at the festival of different cinemas ( Paris) ... I was already a fan of "Footprints" first discovered on TV in SNARK while I was a student then finally seen in 16mm at 102 rue d'Alembert (Grenoble) during an evening dedicated to Bill Morrison... The guy is nice too... "Light Is Calling" still almost brings tears to my eyes... Every time I see him again... And for me, shedding a tear doesn't happen often, it's the effect of the Olanzapine that I take every evening in the hope of staying free... I'm in tears this evening when I see him again...
Wonderfully beautiful.
I recall the burning scenes in Cinema Paradiso, but the hypnotic soundtrack of Light is Calling synched to visually ambiguous burned film lets my mind imagine things that are not there. Just like staring at a campfire or fireplace does. The looped sound and image is like a backbone, and the violin and the recognizable images give it an emotional arc. Excellent, really liked this film. I hit scubscribe.
This is the coolest one out of this entire playlist
We are all dying slowly, trapped in this world, there’s no way out... not even death will let you truly escape
Images that succinctly say so much about both the characteristics of memory and of the vanities of our own small efforts to be remembered. Powerful.
Light is coming to take back everything the darkness stole 🎶

here for coursera!
never watched anything like this before. amazing
Love this video, I first saw it on Classic FMTV years ago and I been in love with it since then. I always come back to this wonderful piece of music every now and again. This and a few other videos that Classic FMTV introduced me to, like Bobby Mcferrin's Circle song 6, Philip Glass's Metamorphosis 1 & 2, Vanessa Mae's Art of War and a few others of which I cannot search for because I don't recall the names of the songs or artists, sigh*. So wish they never got rid of Classic FMTV, it was the best music channel on SKY!
This made me cry.
A cinematic elegy.
Reminds me of when in movies a character dies and it's at that part where someone is standing by a grave and it's raining..
A beautiful metaphor of the ephemeral nature of trying to exist in the real world. Thank you.
it's great, because sometimes you just don't know what are you looking at. and the music is masterpiece.
Phew, very hypnotic indeed. #coursera
the moving pictures behind my eye-lids are much more vivid
amazing....its like burning memories whichever way you look at it . trully unique...LOVE IT !!!
The music Is quite calming and so how almost hypnotic
Hypnotic, thought-provoking, and just beautiful. Wow. Thank you.
Speed it up to 2x you hear music and a somewhat watchable video
This film decay is totally beautiful. It adds more to the image on the film
This soudntrack is so wow i have no words for it
This video calms me
this is an amazing visual and aural experience.
Absolutely brilliant!
good god. this is insanely beautiful.
It mean loading the original film into something like a projector (but not exactly) called an optical printer and photographing it frame-by-frame with a camera. It's how a lot of special effects work was done before digital. For fresh film in perfect condition there is lots of automation to make the process fairly fast, but for a film in this condition, it would have been a very delicate procedure.
1) awesome
2) decay is beautiful. :-)
3) is this a film that is being restored?
Awesome ♥
I find this very disturbing...
Fascinating.
amazing. i love it
phenomenal...liked it lots!
Bill Morrison, You are a true genius to come up with this idea, and I don't want to be disrespectful, but I really like to see this with such post-processing, that would make the image flicker less. It is not a pleasant experience for the eyes, and might as well have been. Please consider more viewers sensual experience as you proceed with your next masterpiece. Beyond the fact it's painful hard to watch, it's just brilliant on so many levels.
Also, thank You for putting it on youtube.
Piotr M. Salomon the film was already like that. its from 1926 and it started to decompose. its actually natural and not edited
I don't know why... but I think this fits so well with the Third Impact scene from The End of Evangelion.
@foodiste I know what you mean. Images and movements that were supposed to be there forevere are now decaying, fading and disappearing. And the music is just awesome, it matches the movie =)
thank you for giving me existentcial crisis
Here From Top 5
i like the music.
The only thing what I saw was the footage of the movie beside some decayed burned films. Such as men, horses, cities, etc.
This Is What The 1AD Film Looks Like
...taking the silents to a metaphysical state...
Leaked footage from the paths
Hipsters will love it
REALLY HAUNTING
It's beautiful =(
something reminds me some of the Win Wenders retrospective movies .
Random collisions indeed
Who came from top 15?
I guess this beautiful oeuvre deserves to be classified as a short cult film.
good
Everyone: artistic van gough noises
Me: was that an eye or a boob
wow
Near the end, it sounds like the THX sound
Dear Bill Morrison, I wished this film as well as your other 'shorts' (all those other works beside "Decasia") would be available on DVD or whatever. The Quicktime movie version on M. Gordon's CD simply doesn't do the trick, and my Re-Voir '8 films' VHS tape is pretty worn by now... Seriously, I really would like to buy a DVD to get a chance to see your other works instead of only reading about. them. Any plans for such a release...?
@MageApocolyptia Obviously you pretty much have an excellent sense of what the film actually might be about. Try to catch Bill Morrison's "Decasia" which is, so to say, the fully extended dance version compared to the radio edit here. ;-)
Idk why this is creepy. I'm just watching burnt old films set to what sounds like Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
is this possible in final cut pro? or premiere pro?
good 4 u
it's like magnified dust
@bimo65 Wonderful. Can I ask what optically printed means?
who made this piece of horror cake
Sounds like a scary movie
i dont understand this. Saw troops and a girl possibly being taken by them. This real?
Someone explain.
My wife said: Wow...this is like a dream.
There is something inherantly sad about decaying film, and something very poignant about this music.
Be careful this makes you have sleeptarrors
Im going full screen
...here i go.
Is this supposed to be scary? I'm confused.
Is this a stomach?🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
