A Bruce Connor-style assemblage film consisting of shots from 1940s and 50s educational shorts spliced together, with synthesizer pop-music by Ron Smulevici. The result is a humorous but cynical view of modern civilized (?) life; a surreal cinematic Rorschach test in which “meaning” is largely a result of the personal associations and subconscious anxieties which the individual view projects onto the images.
