Prufstand 7

[Michel Ryckx]

Don't worry John, an English version was shown during the Pynchon Cologne
conference.  If I understood it well, some further changes will have to be
made.  The maker wants to turn it into a DVD as well.  I think you'll have to
wait a little longer.

When watching, do not consider the film as only Pynchon oriented.  It's as
much about the test stand itself (it has many interesting archive images of
Werner Von Braun's evolution as a rocket scientist) as it is about Gravity's
Rainbow.

By the way, European p-listers, 'In Search of the Mind of [p]' will be shown
on television here in Europe on August 31, very late at night, of course at
Arte, or so the Dubini brothers told me.  This documentary will be available
on DVD too.

Michel.
