“More than any of PAUL SHARITS‘ flicker films, Word Movie most closely literalizes the flicker effect of the [film] shutter mechanism through its use of the separate word for each frame coupled with the single frame units of color. The word structure as a single unit becomes an analog for the individual film frame. And at the same time as serving that function, the word emphasizes the screen frame perimeters as certain words are horizontally cut off by the film line.” – by REGINA CORNWELL
