Complete Record: Negative full version of Auburn Community College Student film “Partings.” Silent film from Auburn community college. Exploration and examination of daily life, boredom, and routine. Man wearing black trench coat and white collar in a convenience store shopping. Man exits store. Man fills pot of water from sink. Man sits down and drinks from a cup and eats cottage cheese and something on a plate. Man clears table and cleans his eating space. Man walks into store. Young boy retrieves ball from underneath truck. Man walks down suburban street. Man lights match, ignites stove. Young boy throws ball against wall, man picks up ball and hands it to boy. Boy takes ball and runs away off screen. Boy walks and bikes around a neighborhood. Boy sits beside tombstone. Boy exits convenience store.
