Description: No voice narration, music background. Using camera distortions film moves swiftly through a day in New York, turning the city's familiar scenes into a new world of fantasy. Buildings float, limp automobiles swallow themselves, trumpet horns distend. With the actual scene transformed by the camera, each sequence is organized into a visual structure of movement and mood. Gene Forrell's small chamber orchestra is heard.
