Comment

Short films don't qualify for this thing, but these were my favorites in no particular order: Phil Solomon's "Rehearsals for Retirement", Peter Hutton's "Skagafjördur", Ken Jacobs' "Let There Be Whistleblowers", Pat O'Neill's "Horizontal Boundaries", and Peter Tscherkassky's "Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine" and "Dream Work".
