" This is David Lynch's 55 second short filmed with an original Lumiere camera. 40 international directors were asked to make a short film ... all » using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895. There were three rules: (1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds, (2) no synchronized sound was permitted, and (3) no more than three takes.

...

Remember while watching that all the effects are in-camera and there is no cutting for scenes."

was there an explanation for what the story was about? Like the nude woman in the tank?
Interesting

sorry, didn't see an explanation for the story.
the body in the field reminds me of blue velvet. the steam and the circus reminds me of the elephant man. and the ambient noises remind me of eraserhead.
so, very lynchian.

"so, very lynchian." -- I would like to get this as a bumper sticker.

Plasticsimian, do you have a link to the other director's work? This sounds like a really cool project, and I'm sure I'm not the only one interested. Thanks for the post
