Happy-End
Peter Tscherkassky / Austria / 1996 / 11 min.
synopsis
A joyful found-footage collage in which a man and a woman celebrate, laugh, and dance amidst champagne and a Sachertorte. The editing and image maniplation combine to create an idyllic sense of joy from being together. The footage, which is ordered from end to beginning, culminates in a flutter of dancing film frames.
