Rectangle & Rectangles

January 1984 •English

This is a didactic film in disguise. A progression of brilliant geometric shapes bombard the screen to the insistent beat of drums.

This animation film, without words, is designed to expose the power of the cinematic medium, and to illustrate the abstract nature of time.
