A low-budget production by Film Art Productions, a unit established by B. Vivian Braun and Irene Nicholson. Braun and Nicholson were the editors of Film Art, a film journal covering experimental and modernist filmmaking. This film, made with a hand-held camera, is directly related to the major interests of the journal in two main ways: firstly, it reflects its interest in 'poetic' filmmaking, stressing strong visual composition; secondly, it reflects an interest in modernist themes, notably rationality and mechanisation.
