Day Tripper(Le voyageur diurne)

This black and white 16mm short is a montage of clips and sounds that is very bouncy and fun. There’s lots of 60s French hipsters, strange devices, dancing and a disjointed soundtrack that alternates between pop music (like The Beatles and Screaming Lord Sutch) and harsh noise/tape manipulation which O’Leary composed himself. It reminds me of the films of Gunvor Nelson, Jonas Mekas or even Frans Zwartjes. —Herb Shellenberger
