Dir. Kelly Sears / USA / 2007 Psychedelic Rock, wayward space transmission, happenings, scientific research, the space race, high hopes, failed dreams, and bodily levitation all come together in the story of The Drift, which was created from animating images dug out of thrift store bookshelves and flea market bins. http://www.kellysears.com/

Believe it or not... the dawn of airplane to the dawn of human spaceflight JUST TOOK 26 years! Amazingly the person who was born in days of first practical airplane: saw everything from the first WW1 airplane, to the first jet fighter, and finally to Saturn V rocket and supersonics. -When they died.. they had seen the most amazing human achievement...

the true and root definition of bewildered is exactly how I feel about the term "drifted for years". However, many do not like this and demonized the term.

besides brilliant and epic -- I can't find any words to describe how wonderful this film is.

I think this has something to do with communism, being represented as 'the drift', an ideal world that would leave people in a comatose state drifting through the years in 'isolated communities'. Communism was a dream, a dream that corrupted its believers much like how 'drifters' followed the sound and dissapeared. &even if 'the song was contained, the drift was free'.

The amazing power of this film's message is ironically highlighted by youtube commenters saying stupid stuff like "sound can't travel in space". we are truly looking down at the ground. feel the drift, people.

i guess the travelling sound means: a travelling song. That is to say: a message. However defined or transported. This story is probably meant to be a metaphor on a "collective awareness/conciousness" of people. Maybe the author explains the wish to be connected to something bigger than the individual needs and thoughts of everyone. So I come to the conclusion, that as a parable it has a very powerful impact on the the listener in its calm and thoughtful way of describing the plot.
