Rose Hobart (film)
The piece consists of snippets from East of Borneo combined with shots from a documentary film of an eclipse.To make the 77-minute film less tedious for repeated viewings by himself and his brother, Cornell would occasionally cut some parts, rearrange others, or add pieces of nature films, until it was condensed to its final-length of 19 minutes, mostly featuring shots of the lead actress, with whom Cornell had become obsessed."[2][3] After the Dalí incident, Cornell did not show the film again until the 1960s, when, at the behest of Jonas Mekas, it was screened again for a public audience.Rose Hobart is now part of Anthology Film Archives' Essential Cinema Repertory collection.[4] In 2001, it was selected for the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
