Still from Bert Haanstra’s Glas (1959)
Glas, winner of the 1959 Oscar for short subject documentary, is an improvised short doc by Dutch filmmaker Bert Haanstra about a glass factory. Interesting and evocative invented sound collage midway through, and a wonderful illustration of the rhythmic, almost musical hand motions of the glass-blowers. And, at the end, an amazing example of mid-century closing titles.
