About This Movie

Mis-Takes (1972) is this intriguing little animation that plays with color and form, almost like a visual experiment. It stitches together snippets from various trial runs, creating a somewhat erratic rhythm that's oddly captivating. The film leans into its ecology theme, which is subtly woven into the vibrant visuals. There's a playful quality to the way the footage is cut and layered, a sense of spontaneity that keeps it fresh. Even though it lacks a traditional narrative, the atmosphere is rich and evocative, making you think about the larger implications of animation and nature. It's a unique example of early experimental animation that stands apart from its contemporaries.

Mis-Takes has seen a bit of a resurgence among collectors due to its unique approach and the rarity of original prints. For those who appreciate experimental animation, finding a good quality copy can be quite a challenge, as it wasn’t widely distributed. It’s definitely one of those films that’s more of a curiosity in a collector's library, intriguing for its artistic approach rather than mainstream appeal.
