Harry Smith presentation: Matt and Kyle

I have never really learned much about Harry Smith. In researching experimental films and on the topic of Stan Brakhage, I had heard his name in passage. This presentation was really informative and I think that the group really emphasized Smith's personality. Although there is little to no footage of him that I can find myself, It seems that Matt and Kyle were intrigued by the personality of their subject. I found the presentation to be easy to follow and grasp considering the nature of Harry Smith and his films. I appreciate that the group went into detail regarding his obsessions and habits as well. For me it made watching the clips much more interesting with that context of character.
