Anything by Oskar Fischinger! There is also a film that cracks me up, if you can find it. Sour Death Balls, which was distributed by Carousel Films and Video. I just don't know what happened to their holdings after the company went out of business.

Re: [Frameworks] Kid-friendly films?
I've had some success showing John Smith films in this context before...Girl Chewing Gum is good, and Om if you're after something shorter. Both have a lot of teachable elements if that's interesting to you. And of course, there's the early avant garde films...Symphonie Diagonale Retour a la Raison, etc. I also liked showing Len Lye films ( colourful, usually not too long). I guess my suggestion here is that direct-film techniques rarely produce content of questionable moral fibre :) R On Sunday, July 12, 2015, Chris Freeman christopherbriggsfree...@gmail.com wrote: EFF Portland had a family friendly screening on one of the days of the festival in 2013.
