To-do list for The KLF films: edit · history · watch · refresh
  • As A Placeholder: A brief synopsis of each film, like this, which it would seem our own Dr Stuey wrote. I've asked him if we can reuse those or if he'd weave some new magic and write some new synopses for us.
  • Resource for Rites of Mu: http://www.libraryofmu.org/display-resource.php?id=384
  • User:Kingboyk really needs a copy of Waiting (and the KLF mailing list's Chipping Norton rave vid/DVD which he missed); he can't write about the film without having seen it!
  • Write an encyclopaedic, summary lead section.

[edit] So...

Do we want to document all four films here, in sections, or do they need seperate articles? Or, should we start with one article and split if it gets too big? (Which it probably won't, there's not much verifiable/citeable material out there I think).

We will of course need a section for each film, some screencaps, some analayis of content and context, and some references. --kingboyk 01:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that there will end up being at least as much written for each film as there is at The "What Time Is Love?" Story (and in the case of The White Room, considerably more), which would mean they'd qualify for separate articles. But this is speculation at the moment. We can build them up here and then despatch them off on their own if and when they qualify?
Another thought: is there anything that needs to be said about The KLF's film work in general? If there's a lot to say, it could go here, but if not, maybe just a mention in The KLF article? --Vinoir 07:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure yet, I think it's a case of "wait and see". Too bad neither of us have seen Waiting though! Perhaps if we beg someone else will offer up a digital copy :-) --kingboyk 07:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I am quite sure "1991: The Work" is a authentic videocompilation. It's a promo VHS, a collection of musicvideos. First video is America:WTIL? The Work video is included in THIS IS WHAT KLF ARE ABOUT bootlegvideo. It starts with a black screen, white fonts "KLF COMMUNICATIONS", then follows up with "1991: THE WORK", then America:WTIL? starts. The discography sais:

Yes, I remember now... the thing is, though, is it of any significance to non-fans? --kingboyk 11:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Some location trivia for White Room which I can't see in any of the linked docs. Maybe it'll be useful.

  • The village/castle location is La Calahorra in the province of Granada [1]. Looking at Google Maps, I wouldn't be surprised if much more was shot in the area, particularly with those disused railway lines out to the mine.
  • The road that the whitewashed car drives along is the A-395 up to the National Park/Ski Resort.
  • The 'White Room' is the IRAM 30m antenna within the National Park/Ski Resort [2]

Info sheet 8 is particularly good, as a primary source. We don't really tell the story properly yet: filming was mostly complete, but they decided to make an inner film (the 1988/9 work) and an outer film (for which funds/motivation ran out). Presumably the bootlegs are the inner film only. --kingboyk (talk) 20:20, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] K Foundation

Should this cover KF too? (Overview of Burn... and This Brick, which are covered elsewhere, one or two sentences on Pissing which could be lifted from the discog article. --kingboyk (talk) 15:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
