BLINKITY BLANK

Directed by Norman McLaren
Canada, 1955
Avant-Garde, Animation, Short

Synopsis

This experimental short film by Norman McLaren is a playful exercise in intermittent animation and spasmodic imagery. Playing with the laws relating to persistence of vision and after-image on the retina of the eye, McLaren engraves pictures on blank film creating vivid, percussive effects.
