Sound for the Future

In an office world of half light, flickering fluorescent tubing, ringing phones and monotonous paperwork, the residents sit trapped in a state of frustration, inactivity, boredom or semi-consciousness. As the lights flicker, they get on with their chores and tasks, maybe half aware that they may never escape their surroundings for anything better.

`A comic and unsettling surrealist film. A man rushes and gyrates through spaces with measured movements, through levels of film emulsion and through suggested thoughts and memories that rattle in and around him.' An exploration into the behaviour of a vulnerable character, propelled by an array of computer techniques. - BFI
