Kathleen Collins Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 ... One copy went to H.L. Hunt... it did? H.L. Hunt was the richest man in the world at that time. He was a rabid John-Bircher. It is believed by some that Hunt financed the Assassination and wanted it on film. Kathy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Haley Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Roger and others: Here is the youtube clip of the turn onto Elm. https://youtu.be/l2rEBLFih7M About the head shot: It was described as a big white substance going up in the air and then the gory part was shown on an Internet radio show. The blood is redder and Jackie is face to face with John Kennedy, her left arm over his right shoulder. I will try to find it, but in the frames I saw there was no white (halo). Robert Morningstar says he has the missing frames of Zapruder. One important thing. The film is shot from behind Zapruder and from a higher area close by. I cannot figure where this cameraman was standing. Kathy C Well, unless all the people lined up waving excitedly on the kerb suddenly ran out of shot and were replaced by a completely different set of onlookers, the brief clip purporting to be the turn onto Elm is a re-creation and not a part of Zapruder's original film.

Steve Thomas And completely disregards Max Phillips Ths zfilm timeline says this though.... Army doesn’t fly out of Naval bases, do they? 10:00 pm Schwartz and Zapruder delivered two prints to Sorrels. Sorrels asked them to take one to the Dallas Naval Air Station in nearby Grand Prairie, where a jet was immediately dispatched to take the print to FBI investigators in Washington, D.C.

Can anyone identify exactly what this film is? Or, is this an unknown photographer? (I favor reenactment, but still need to ask) There were many out and about that day. Just survey the existing record of photos and films and you will see many unknowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lavin Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I agree this is a re-enactment and although there are limited direct references online I would suggest it is the video component of an art installation entitled The Eternal Flame 'The Eternal Frame is an installation which recreates a typical living room space from 1960s America, complete with sofas, standard lamp, carpet and wallpaper. Two sofas are arranged around a television set and the walls are covered with memorabilia relating to American President John F. Kennedy. Produced as a collaboration between two key California collectives of the time, Ant Farm and T.R. Uthco, the video, screened on the television, re-enacts the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas on 22 November 1963 as a critical examination of the role played by the media in the creation of historical spectacle and myth. The installation takes as its starting point an excerpt from the only filmed record of Kennedy’s assassination: Super-8 footage shot by Abraham Zapruder, a bystander on the parade route. These now iconic few frames of film are transformed in The Eternal Frame into a dark, brutally direct, multi-layered event that is simultaneously a live performance spectacle, a taped re-enactment of the assassination, a mock documentary, and a simulation of the Zapruder film itself. Performed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas — the actual site of the assassination — twelve years after the event, the re-enactment elicits bizarre responses from its spectators, who react to the simulation as though it were the original assassination' .https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/t-r-uthco-ant-farm-the-eternal-frame-t138 I would also suggest it is the source of numerous claims of alterations to the Zapruder film, the existence of other films of the assassination and quotes made about the events of that day further details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eternal_Frame https://fridaynightboys300.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-zapruder-film-jfk-conspiracies-and.html https://aksioma.org/eternalframe_mediaburn/index.html http://www.eai.org/titles/4109 http://www.artperformance.org/article-23587594.html https://arttorrents.blogspot.com/2008/02/ant-farm-eternal-frame-1976.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Butler Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I have looked at all of the reenactments I can find and nothing looks like the film in question. At best the film can be described as Zapruderesque. But, it is not the Zapruder film. I can see no one has identified the background information on this film. So, it is open to speculation. On 1/22/2020 at 3:54 AM, Kathleen Collins said: The buildings in back of the cars are not the buildings of Dealey Plaza. Kathy C But, some are. They are somewhat different in appearance. I don't know what that means. The buildings on east Elm are the Purse Building and two others. In Zapruder we see the Purse Building and one other, a small building, and then behind that a reddish building. The Court Records Building is prominent in both. The Purse Building in both films has a different slightly different appearance suggesting there is some time between these films. It also suggests that the photographers were at different filming locations. In the film in question you can see further east on Elm Street. But, the Dal-Tex and TSBD are missing. This might suggest that the right hand side of the film has been cropped. I am sure that others with a better sense of photography can verify or reject that. In the Zapruder frame there are road signs across Elm Street and those are not in the other film. The red light is clearly visible in Zapruder, but not so discernible in the other film. It may be there, but I am distracted by what appears to be a face in the air. Once seen, it is difficult to unsee and is a distraction to what is in that area. The crowds are not the same. Particularly, the group known as Mannequin Row. The Lead Car seems to be correct as a white, 4 door, 1961 Mercury Monterrey. Seeing the Lead Car says this scene is in the Zapruder Gap. (At least one can think that is so. But, maybe not.) So, all things considered it is not a reenactment as indicated by other reenactment films. It appears to be a reconstruction or manufacture of the scene of the presidential motorcade turning onto to Elm Street built from different scenes acquired elsewhere. Unless someone can provide better information on this film, I would dismiss it as having any significance to anything.

Hey there John... To me it appears like a re-enactment, or a rehearsal for one of the many movies about the time period... Here is an actual Zframe reduced in size to show you what I mean... The lens seems a bit less telephoto than Zapruder's who said he was on full zoom... and the location of the photographer must be further to Zapruder's left and behind?

Ray Mitcham Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 In Dj's black and white photo above showing the green arrows, the background has definitely been overpainted, thus blanking out the three vertical windows shown in the Z film. I wonder why. In the black and white photo the camera was higher than Zapruder's camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW - DJ Thanks David, I always read your comments. There's always something new and interesting such as below. A different way to look at things. In that particular film in question the road signs at the intersection of Houston and Elm are missing. Any notion why?

Stephen Lavin Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 There is a detailed history of reconstructions/ reenactments here https://jfk007.com/tragedy-restaged/ on closer examination the original thread clip appears to be a detailed reenactment with the lead car, motorcycles and follow up car visible, and thus my initial thought that it is from The Eternal Flame of 1975 is incorrect, as although they had lots of different footage from at least 17 versions of their reenactment, they did not have these props it is clear that the film clip at the beginning of this thread comes from Stones JFK - which is a compilation of footage both real and re enacted - see from 0.36 from looking at the clips from the rest of JFK below I would now suggest that original thread clip is part of footage re created by Stone from multiple cameras, angles, heights and locations in the plaza - see from 1.20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
