Found and jazz


Trade Tattoo (1937)

Directed by Len Lye this is an experimental short film. Out take footage from documentaries is used to build a swirling, action packed piece.

Exploring editing and manipulating found footage this is a pretty interesting early film. We see a variety of bits of trade or industry jazzed up to give it some real energy. Not the deepest film you will ever see but entertaining none the less.

3/5
