By now you probably know already I am not a great fan of experimentalism, but still Len Lye is not completely lost on me. This one here is "A Colour Box", a film from 1935, over 80 years ago, that runs for 3 minutes only, short as usual for the filmmaker. And compared to some of his other works, the animation is even weaker and less refined, but the music makes up for it. Another fairly positive, well-spirited work from one of New Zealand's most known filmmakers, back then and today. Still, I would really only recommend this one to huge fans of experimental film as everybody else will see no purpose in this one. i have to admit it was hard for me too finding some. Maybe it is really just all about the atmosphere. But that is not enough in my opinion. Do not watch.
