Men and Women of an American Town - Abstract Film

This is an associational film. Instead of a traditional narrative, it is built out of the associations the viewer makes between each shot (so, for example, don't expect dialogue). As such, it is completely open for interpretation. I just thought the title was cool (it comes from the opening card). This was just a fun editing project for me so don't expect too much from it. Thanks.

Apologies for bad quality/lack of HD. I was working with low-definition videos made from old film prints.
