Interlace flicker, the new dust and scratches

One of the charms of film is the sense of individual frames running through the projector. The dust and the jitter create a wonderful sense of energy exploited by artists like Stan Brakhage and Len Lye in their hand-painted films. Just saw Justin's show the other day. I noticed that his animation looked a lot better when projected. The interlace flicker brought a lot of vitality to the hold frames, some of which were on screen for seconds at a time. No doubt in the future, there will be plug-ins to reproduce this effect at will.
