SHIFT

Directed by Ernie Gehr
United States, 1974
Short, Avant-Garde, Documentary

Synopsis

For Gehr, SHIFT broke new ground, hence perhaps a pun in its title. The film is his first to employ extensive montage. The actors are all mechanical – a series of cars and trucks filmed from a height of several stories as they perform on a three-lane city street.
