69 (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #3 extract: 69 (1969)



Like complex moving machinery can be beautiful and mesmerising, so is Breer's 69. In such, it really plays with the mechanical aspect of cinema; flickering frames and the motion it has the ability to imply. Through repetitive animated figures moving in time and synchrony, 69 almost revels in the control that technology allows humans to demonstrate. And having seen Jonas Mekas' quote in this film's description... 
“It’s so absolutely beautiful, so perfect, so like nothing else. Forms, geometry, lines, movements, light very basic, very pure, very surprising, very subtle.” 
... I can only really agree.
