Overview

Colchester Cine Club was a member of the Essex Federation of Amateur Cine Clubs (EFACC). In 1974, the Club produced this short experimental film for an EFACC exercise on the theme of β€˜Infinity’. The film’s subjects act as human puppets, telling a tale of jealousy and love rivalry, which, melded with atmospheric music completes the experimental melodrama. The film was shot on Super 8 colour film with a magnetic stripe added for sound.

Colchester Cine Club was formed in 1959. It later became the Colchester Cine and Video Club, and it’s current incarnation is Colchester Film Makers Club.
