    Me and my fat friends on minimum wage like to watch BB while drinking cider and smoking mayfairs. We don't really care about it, we just hope somebody will get naked. Then we talk about football for a while then we go for chips at the chicken shop while we worry about the constantly rising price of ikea furniture.

    Ah Brakhage. If you've seen one you've seen them all.

    I really think the purpose of this is to show the futility of the moth as a parallel the the futile aspects of humanity. You see the moths are attracted to the light, then they are eventually eaten apart by it as it slowly tears away at them. But the moths themselves are unaware of this, in a trance-state induced by the light. Before they know it they're gone.

    For those that don't know what to make of this, an interesting starting point is to ask yourself what your definition of film is - this doesn't fit any of them. It wasn't filmed, didn't require a camera, doesn't contain photos, action, narrative, doesn't need a film projector, can be watched forwards, backwards, at any speed or just held up against the light and pulled through your hands. So, as an experiment, it's kind of interesting, don't you think?

    It's an aesthetic object. You're supposed to look at it.
