So...
[edit]Do we want to document all four films here, in sections, or do they need seperate articles? Or, should we start with one article and split if it gets too big? (Which it probably won't, there's not much verifiable/citeable material out there I think).
We will of course need a section for each film, some screencaps, some analayis of content and context, and some references. --kingboyk 01:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think that there will end up being at least as much written for each film as there is at The "What Time Is Love?" Story (and in the case of The White Room, considerably more), which would mean they'd qualify for separate articles. But this is speculation at the moment. We can build them up here and then despatch them off on their own if and when they qualify?
- Another thought: is there anything that needs to be said about The KLF's film work in general? If there's a lot to say, it could go here, but if not, maybe just a mention in The KLF article? --Vinoir 07:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure yet, I think it's a case of "wait and see". Too bad neither of us have seen Waiting though! Perhaps if we beg someone else will offer up a digital copy :-) --kingboyk 07:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I am quite sure "1991: The Work" is a authentic videocompilation. It's a promo VHS, a collection of musicvideos. First video is America:WTIL?
The Work video is included in THIS IS WHAT KLF ARE ABOUT bootlegvideo. It starts with a black screen, white fonts "KLF COMMUNICATIONS", then follows up with "1991: THE WORK", then America:WTIL? starts. The discography sais:
The KLF: The Work
[1991] promotional compilation video
VHS: 1991 UK (KLF Communications; KLF VT 91) [promo]

- Yes, I remember now... the thing is, though, is it of any significance to non-fans? --kingboyk 11:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Some location trivia for White Room which I can't see in any of the linked docs. Maybe it'll be useful.
- The village/castle location is La Calahorra in the province of Granada [1]. Looking at Google Maps, I wouldn't be surprised if much more was shot in the area, particularly with those disused railway lines out to the mine.
- The road that the whitewashed car drives along is the A-395 up to the National Park/Ski Resort.
- The 'White Room' is the IRAM 30m antenna within the National Park/Ski Resort [2]

--Vinoir 20:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Info sheet 8 is particularly good, as a primary source. We don't really tell the story properly yet: filming was mostly complete, but they decided to make an inner film (the 1988/9 work) and an outer film (for which funds/motivation ran out). Presumably the bootlegs are the inner film only. --kingboyk (talk) 20:20, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
K Foundation
[edit]Should this cover KF too? (Overview of Burn... and This Brick, which are covered elsewhere, one or two sentences on Pissing which could be lifted from the discog article. --kingboyk (talk) 15:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Waiting
[edit]Waiting[3] needs more info on this page.
It is a long form video filmed on the Isle of Jura by Bill Butt in 1990. It features an ambient mix soundtrack using elements from Chill Out and "Church of the KLF" which scores for a look at the KLF setting up equipment on a beach and a farm. Which beach and which farm? I don't know. But, it's a look into the life of Cauty and Drummond, how they act and collaborate and a look at some of the equipment they use, including some close-ups of an Oberheim keyboard.
If I were to write a short critique on the piece, I would call it raw and sacred to a KLF fan. - Team4Technologies (talk) 15:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
