Synopsis: This is the earliest surviving work by Paul Sharits, 'Wintercourse', which was produced in 1962, is silent and was shot in B&W in 16mm. While Sharits would go on to become one of the pioneers of the structuralist movement, 'Wintercourse' is a more playful, seemingly less structured film than the ones he would become most well-known. Warning: There are brief flashes of non-sexual nudity in the film. The film is possibly heavily inspired by Stan Brakhage’s Wedlock House: An Intercourse (1959). 'Wintercourse' features chilly scenes of winter outdoors and a woman lounging around indoors. The film is a choppy, cubist interpretation of what one does in the winter, mostly enjoying each other’s company indoors, watching TV, trudging through the snow, admiring the local architecture rising out of the blank white ground. Then, the film ends on a springtime scene of a happy couple kissing, finally able to comfortably enjoy the outdoors.
