Details

A Trip Down Memory Lane is a 1965 experimental collage film by Arthur Lipsett, created by editing together images and sound clips from over fifty years of newsreel footage. The film combines footage from a beauty contest, religious procession, failed airflight, automotive and science experiments, animal experimentation, skyscraper construction, military paraphernalia, John D. Rockefeller and scenes of leisure, Richard Nixon and scenes of war, blimps and hot air balloons, and a sword swallower. Lipsett envisioned his film as a kind of cinematic time capsule for future generations.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
padington a found-footage film (film 'sampled' from other films) that seeks to replicate a time capsule for the year of 1954 (not entirely sure of the year). Starts with all the classic achievements of the year etc but then turns to much darker social commentary. an interesting insight into Lipsett's psyche (i believe his paranoia eventually got the better of him)
