Synopsis:

The sixth and final box set in the Jørgen Leth Collection comprises his early experiments. Here we find Leth's first films from the 1960s and early 1970s, when the poet and director moved into the world of film, playing around with images and sound. His very first film, from 1963, is about the jazz pianist Bud Powell. Like so many of these films, it is the product of a close collaboration with the cinematographer Ole John. Leth and John continued their tight partnership over the following years, exploring and challenging cinematic language. Eventually, they expanded their collaborative form into the ABCinema movement, a film collective of artists from many different scenes, including among others Bjørn Nørgaard, Per Kirkeby, Ursula Reuter, Lene Adler Petersen and Erik Thygesen. Only one of the films from the collective period is included in the box set. Still, the box set offers a portrait of 'the artist as a young puppy,' and supplements the early experiments with an array of bonus materials - almost a full five hours - chronicling the rise of ABCinema, describing the director's life in Haiti today and pointing ahead to two brand new films about Leth. Brazilian 27 Scenes from 2008, is a previously unreleased, comprehensive portrait of the artist and his work. As a special treat, we include a 10-minute appetizer for Leth's next and much debated film, The Erotic Human. Plus, a series of fresh shots of 11 people's personal views on the artist and his work, produced especially for this box.
