Sidney Peterson

Today is the anniversary of the death in 2000 at the age of 94 of American film maker Sidney Peterson. His 18-minute short film The Lead Shoes (1949) can be viewed online here at UbuWeb, where there is also an essay on the film.

from that essay:

In our daily lives, we think of the world around us with a definite space and a definite flow of time. The Lead Shoes prove that it is not so hard to throw us off-balance both in space and in time.
...
Peterson makes us aware that space and time are more complicated than we think they are and they should be experienced in a more open-minded way.
