Directed by Hollis Frampton • 1974 • United States

SUMMER EQUINOX, AUTUMNAL EQUINOX, and WINTER SOLSTICE, all of which appear in Straits of Magellan, make up Hollis Frampton’s film cycle SOLARIUMAGELANI (1974). In each film, Frampton included complementary color leader to represent what is missing from the season. For STRAITS OF MAGELLAN: WINTER SOLSTICE, he once referred to it as “the clear blue of the summer sky.”
