The Great Blondino
Robert Nelson, William T. Wiley, 1967, US, 16mm, 42'

Another fes­ti­val win­ner was Robert Nelson’s short The Grateful Dead, but it was his The Great Blondino (made with William Wiley), which also scree­ned the­re, that he thought bet­ter deser­ved that recog­ni­ti­on. Blondino fol­lows a young, wan­de­ring, day­drea­ming naif on ris­ky adven­tu­res, ​“living at gre­at risk for the beau­ty of it.”
