PATRIOTISM, PART II

Directed by Joyce Wieland
United States, 1964
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

In a way a portrait of Dave Shackman with the American flag. The ending is a stop-motion animation of a set table with food moving and swirling and finally gathering together in a ball. Looking back at the film, the animation sequence seems to foreshadow Dave Shackman’s early death.
