The Leopard Skin ()

Overview

“The Skin was never, alas, screened publicly. What it is is a leopard skin which is filmed so that something optically happens as the spots flash on and off – the effect is similar to a film which was recently made much over called The Flicker. Actually, the correct title is The Leopard Skin (the Cinemateque notes were dictated via telephone to secretary). (Date: 1965? or 4.)” (George Landow, letter to Sheldon Renan, 1967) “It was a fake leopard skin.” (Owen Land, letter to Mark Webber, 2004)
