scratching

Free Radicals (1958)

Directed by Len Lye this short film has music from the Bagirimi tribe of Africa. Wavy lines are scratched into film and dance around to the beat of tribal music.

There is not a lot to this film and compared to some animations set to music it was not one of my favourites that I have seen. The animation is very basic and rudimentary compared to other efforts out there. No doubt there is some style and skill to creating a film like this but it was not to my taste.
