Name: Dirt
Genre: Short, Fantasy
Duration: 12 min
Rating: 5.2
Cast: John Cale, Storm De Hirsch, Bobby Driscoll

What can I say about this? I went looking for it on the Internet after reading about the sordid details of Bobby Driscoll's life. Only 12 minutes of this were made, and it is pretty much an experimental underground 60's flick, which means don't expect a plot or anything else. The first 10 seconds feature two nuns walking down a street, with one of them supposedly Driscoll (hard to tell, the quality's bad), then cut to 5 minutes of buildings (buildings turned sideways, people walking around buildings, etc.) then cut to a woman taking a bath then cut to two women fighting in a bathtub. Strange and surreal with sudden cuts to the women staring at the camera made this feel like something out of "The Ring".

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

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.

"Two nuns take a bath, then meet a sailor on the Staten Island Ferry" - Piero Heliczer "Among all the new movies (it has been quiet lately on the underground scene) Piero Heliczer's Dirt touched me most deeply. Its beauty is very personal and lyrical. And every frame of it is cinema. I can do not justice to this beautiful work in one paragraph. It was shot on 8mm and much of its beauty and its cinema come from 8mm properities of camera and film. It is all motion. Together with Brakhage's Songs, Branaman's abstractions and Ken Jackob's not yet released work, Heliczer's Dirt is one of the four works that use 8mm film properly and for art's sake" - Jonas Mekas, Village Voice.
