Ed. Note: "Blaze Glory" (1969): Color. 11 minutes: Directed by Len Janson, Chuck Menville. Cast: Len Janson, Chuck Menville, Genedee Cook. Note: A silly spoof of Westerns done in pixilation -- an animation style that uses real actors and props, rather than drawings. This little film surely had an influence on pixilation wizards Steve Segal and Phil Trumbo, the then-Richmond-based duo that created "Futuropolis" (1984).
The Backlight was launched to promote the Bijou Film Center in Richmond, Virginia, and to stimulate interest in good movies, in general. Shortly after the Biograph 45 party my affiliation with The Bijou ended and the regular posts here stopped. See the most recent post for more info. Now this blog's archive serves as a record of The Bijou's dreams and happenings, August 1, 2013 - February 11, 2017. Since then I've been out of the loop. -- F.T. Rea, editor.
