23 Skidoo - Julian Biggs (1964)

...GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS, the National Film Board of Canada are archiving media from the 20's to the present, all available to watch or buy on a tasty website HERE, meanwhile, couldn't resist this intriguing short from 1964...

...This short black-and-white film shows eerie scenes of a downtown without people. The effect is disturbing. The camera shoots familiar urban scenes, without a soul in sight: streets empty, buildings empty, yet everywhere there is evidence of recent life and activity. At the end of the film we learn what has happened...

...the U.S. also have a ever increasing archive HERE...
