"William EGGLESTON's pioneering video work, 'Stranded In Canton', has been restored and is finally available, almost thirty-five years after it was made.
'Stranded in Canton' contains 40 frame enlargements from the digital re-master, a brief appreciation from filmmaker Gus Van Sant, and a DVD of the 77-minute film itself, along with more than 30 minutes of bonus footage and an interview with William EGGLESTON conducted at the 2005 Toronto Film Festival.
Shot in 1974 with a Sony Porta-Pak, the crazily careering 'Stranded in Canton' documents a cast of hard-drinking Southerners with the intimacy, ease and instability of a seasoned participants. Whiffs of Southern Gothic are not new to William EGGLESTON's work, but here they rise to the surface--fierce, tragic and proud." (© The New York Times)
