Revisiting Ken Jacobs' CYCLOPEAN 3D for Home Movie Day

For last year’s Home Movie Day, GME highlighted Hollywood icon Rock Hudson, who appears in Mark Rappaport’s found footage video essay ROCK HUDSON’S HOME MOVIES. This year, we turn our attention to an avant-garde icon, Ken Jacobs, whose experimental “home movie” CYCLOPEAN 3D: LIFE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN was produced by GME through the Experimental Filmmakers Production Fund. GME President Jon Gartenberg presented CYCLOPEAN 3D the International Film Festival of Rotterdam in 2012, where he dubbed the film Jacobs’ “most directly autobiographical work to date.”
