23 Skidoo

Year Published: 1964

Creator: National Film Board of Canada.

Description: If you erase the people of downtown America, the effect is bizarre, not to say disturbing. That is what this film does. It shows the familiar urban scene 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. Awards: London; Cracow; Salerno.

Complete Record: "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."--National Film Board of Canada
