Synopsis

The film is concerned with the energy of movement—of shaping light in darkness, by scratching the film surface. In this film, Len Lye focuses on “a smaller, more compact zizz of energy than I’d ever got before on film.” The rhythms of African drums again provide the musical counterpoint. Jazz guitar solo by Tal Farlow.
