USA (MIFF1955,Odd Birds in the Aviary)
Director: Robert Florey

One of the earliest of experimental films produced in America showing the influence of the expressionistic technique. The film was produced as a private venture by a group of film technicians &ndash: produced at night after work in Vorkapich's kitchen from odds and ends. The story of the film is a simple satirical fantasy highlighting the dreams of glory of a Mr. Jones, a would-be film star.
