PROGRESS Chapter 44: Old Man Yells At Cloud

About This Movie

So, there's this film, PROGRESS Chapter 44: Old Man Yells At Cloud, which dropped in 2017. It’s a bit of an oddity, you know? The atmosphere is all about that raw, gritty vibe, perfectly encapsulated by the eclectic Camden scene, especially at the Electric Ballroom. The pacing meanders, almost like a conversation that dips in and out of focus, which might not appeal to everyone, but I think it adds a layer of authenticity. The themes are kind of existential, showcasing the struggle against time and change, with some practical effects that ground the surreal in reality. It’s distinct in the way it captures a moment, a snapshot of a community grappling with its identity.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, as it hasn’t seen a wide release. Its live nature, shot at the Electric Ballroom, makes it a unique piece for anyone focused on concert films or the evolution of performance art. The scarcity is intriguing, and there's definitely a niche interest among those who appreciate experimental cinema, particularly with its focus on community and identity.
