apparently according to:
tisue.net/orourke/
Films

as director

Door
film 2005
running time: 18 minutes
O’Rourke has written, “In 2003 I discovered a box of tapes I had thought I had erased, and had long forgot about. The tapes were all from between 1986–1991... The box also contained what would become... the music for the films Door and Not Yet.”
reportedly the film is based on feedback and and images of an opening door
screened at the No Fun festival in New York in May 2005 (but not included on the DVD later released from the festival)
included on Noise DVD (MK2 Music) 2006, documenting the Carte Blanche Au Festival Art Rock; see http://rock.discogs.com/release/770570 for details on the DVD; I’m guessing the film is included as a bonus track but is not actually considered part of the festival documentary directed by Olivier Assayas

Not Yet
film 2003
running time: 18 minutes
from the Rotterdam Film Festival program: “Not Yet, by Jim O’Rourke, is the only finished and screened film by this musician so far. He uses a scene from [Brian DePalma’s Blow Out]. The camera revolves around a sound technician who enters his studio and discovers that all his magnetic tapes have been erased. The physical effect of this disorienting scene is enhanced by double printing and an eerie, floating soundtrack.” (The sound technician is played by John Travolta.)
from Sonic Youth’s spring 2004 newsletter: “On April 23rd the Whitney will show Jim’s film Not Yet with live music” (at the Whitney Biennial)
O’Rourke has written, “In 2003 I discovered a box of tapes I had thought I had erased, and had long forgot about. The tapes were all from between 1986–1991... The box also contained what would become... the music for the films Door and Not Yet.”
