Not for the casual viewer.

This short film is from a collection of experimental films entitled "Avant-Garde: Vol. 3:" and is from Disc 1. It's a collection of films that most folks today would probably care very little about, but for some reason I like seeing many of these unusual little art films. Perhaps you will also.

This is a silent art film from Kent Munson and Theodore Huff. It appears to have been filmed completely in New York and features exterior shots as well as many indoor shots with people at work as well as some love drama that occurs between them--leaving th boss alone and confused. Being an art film, the camera-work is VERY unusual to say the least. In fact, I'd say a bit overdone (and probably deliberately so) when it comes to the acting. However, much of it is very natural and pieced together from real folks in the city living out their lives. It's not a bad piece but clearly not one that would excite the casual viewer. Arty and odd. If you like depressing art films, then give it a try. Otherwise...well, you could do better. I did, however, like the dog and thought he was the best part of the film if you do happen to give it a look.
