Posted this on Facebook a while back and got a lot of people telling me about how special this movie was to them. This video gave us all chills to see all these years later. Thanks!
wow! that video is very striking...and i get it. congrats, its a great video with an important message, ill certainly be sitting some friends in front of it. x
wow truthfully i think it takes the child out of it it kind of makes it like a weird biography of some sort it doesnt look like a show i would wanna watch as a child the ppl kind of sound scary with the echoes and what not....
Glad I stumbled upon this! I own a 16mm used (library) print of the show. And liked the use of the frames of film slowly moving by and the voices of the adults echoing the lyrics. Very artistic! These are 4 of the original childen from the opening merry-go-round?? Wow, it would be cool to hear them talk about their experience shooting it that day in the park, and show who was who!
That's really cool. I remember the original and I like your take on revisiting it. I was reading the other comments-- was this for a showcase or a competition or something of that ilk?
yeah...a couple video curators invited various artist to do something with each track of the original album/tv special. They sent me some of the original films. The show has been screening in various cities...NYC, Boston, Chicago. It's coming to Berkeley in Jan.
I saw this last night in Chicago where I performed a couple of the songs with one of the other filmmakers. I really, really enjoyed it. I wish I could get a copy of all of them!!! Or at least that the others would be on youtube!
CREEPY!!!

Ahh the vision of a perfect land, a utopia.
Unfortunately it is just not possible. Human nature prevents this but it is nice to dream.
