I can’t remember where I saw this film, but I’m guessing it was a “related video” to another short film I saw called The Finishing Line – a British railway safety video. Not really sure, but they are similar enough stylistically. The short I’m thinking of is from the 60s or 70s and features a group of boys that basically just walk around and…well, act like boys.
It was kind of arty from what I remember. The main thing I liked about the film was the music, which changed a lot throughout the film and sounded blown-out.
The music in the opening and closing scenes sounds like something from the opening credits for the TV show Homeland – slow horns that remind me of gritty crime dramas.
Hats off to anyone that can give me a title.
Not Apaches? similar to the finishing line but was about farm safety. 1977 though I had it played to me at school in the 90’s.
Maybe “The Red Balloon”?
It’s not The Red Balloon. It’s not Apaches either, although it might have been made around the same time. I don’t remember any speaking scenes in the film I’m thinking about. I don’t remember much about it at all actually; other than the music.
In terms of being arty, I think there were a number of slow-motion shots and some scenes with various camera filters/effects(?). Visually, it sort of reminded me of a lot of Sigur Rós music videos.
Hope this helps…
