Sparklehorse - "It's a Wonderful Life" directed by Guy Maddin.

Maddin specializes in films that draw inspiration from the earliest years of motion picture imagery, with a particular emphasis on the alterations made to those images by time, decay, and neglect.

"His enthusiasm for obsolescent cinematic techniques — silent-film emoting, iris lenses, shadowy monochrome, collagist editing — is at once antiquarian and futuristic, a way of exhuming buried possibilities for novelty and speculation." ~NYT

There was to have been a photo in this post. What I got instead was: "Processing uploaded file... please wait" without end.

    That's great.  I like that style of cinema.  This reminds me of Bruce Conner's work using found footage
