Amateur Film: A Prefix to Piscatorialism (1930s)
*“A Prefix to Piscatorialism”* is an amateur dramatized home movie that appears to be split into two parts. In the first segment, a woman walks her dog down a city street before being picked up by men in a jalopy that later breaks down. A gas station attendant fills the car with gas while the man cranks the vehicle, showcasing a comedic scene of early automobile struggles. The second part focuses on a man tying fishing flies, filmed in a dramatic, noir-inspired style, set to *Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody*. The film reflects a quirky and experimental approach to storytelling, likely shot in Berkeley or Oakland, California, with an emphasis on personal creativity.
