Alliteration Monday: Begone Dull Care

Easily one of my favorite non-narrative films of all time (HQ highly, highly recommended), "Begone Dull Care" showcases the talents (and patience) of Canadian filmmakers Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart. To make the film, McLaren and Lambart took a three-part suite composed by the Oscar Peterson Trio, calculated which frames of film would correspond to individual phrases, and then meticulously painted vibrant, brimming visuals that complement the mood of the music (bear in mind that the work is camera-less, meaning the filmmakers worked directly with the celluloid). All in all, tried and true labor; don't say Canada never gave you anything great.
