If you are subject to epileptic attacks, do not look at this movie. It may trigger an attack.

For the rest of you, I can't recommend this movie. While -paced and unvarying four-bar drum set repeats endlessly, combined with an a discordant electronica score, the audience gets to watch rectangles, throbbing rectangles in light and darkness, which occasionally grow or shrink, sometimes forming more complicated patterns, but usually not.

It's an experimental film, quite obviously, and the general reaction to people who care about such is approval. How brave of the film maker to take the National Film Board of Canada's money and make this! I find it repetitious, and after the first minute its interest wore off for me. It continued for seven minutes past that point.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
