Seeking lost short film from 70s

Looking for any info on a short film from the 70s called The Paper Doll. It was an avant-garde piece, very atmospheric and eerie, and it aired late at night on public television. Seems to have vanished completely. Would love to see it again or at least learn more about it.

You might want to check the Anthology Film Archives in NYC. They have a huge collection of avant-garde and experimental films and might have something on The Paper Doll.

I did a quick search and found an old forum post from 2005 where someone mentioned a film similar to The Paper Doll. They said it might have been part of a series called 'Experimental Films from the 70s'. Not much to go on, but every bit helps!

Are you sure it even exists? Sounds like one of those things people 'remember' but never actually happened. Memory is tricky!

Isn't it fascinating how media can just disappear? It's like a modern mystery! Keep an eye out on YouTube too, sometimes rare stuff pops up there out of nowhere.

I collect 70s TV shows and specials, and I think I’ve heard of this one. Try asking in specialized forums or Facebook groups dedicated to vintage public television. Someone might have a VHS recording in their basement.

You might want to check out the Internet Archive or archive.org. They sometimes have lost broadcasts and obscure films uploaded. Worth a shot!

Wow, this sounds cool. Public television aired so many weird gems back then. Have you tried reaching out to local PBS stations? They might have archives or even old employees who remember it.

I remember seeing The Paper Doll on late-night TV when I was a kid! It was directed by a little-known avant-garde filmmaker named Julian Ashby. Totally understand why it stuck with you; it had a very eerie, surreal vibe. Last I heard, most of his work was never digitized, so it's hard to find.
