Interior

Produced by Bradford Smith

The title of this piece indicates a great deal about its content. In a literal sense the film takes place inside a man's home where the viewer gets a look at his evening routine of cooking, eating, bathing, and sleeping with particular simplicity. The sleeping sequence is especially interesting not only because of the animated additions but becuase of how the sense of uneasiness lends itself to the meaning of the title.
