ACT III

An experimental short from Oskar Fischinger

What happens when thoughts won't stop? Telling yourself "try not to think." The exhaustion of thinking and thinking, an attempt to recapitulate unnecessary thoughts that consume you and cloud your vision.

Begins as a whimsical piece with 'sheets' of lines running down the screen, progressing into more and more complex geometic patterns but without deviating from the basic precepts of 'dot and line' animation. Jazz piano on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and a spring color palette. -- Stephanie Sapienza. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2001.
