Act Without Words
Directed by Thom Andersen
Andersen's first extant work as a filmmaker, made as group project while he was a film student at the University of Southern California. A spirited adaptation of Beckett's eponymous mimed play, efficiently compressed to the 300 foot (16mm) class requirement, Act Without Words boasts an uncredited Lester Young soundtrack that points towards Andersen's interest in American musical traditions.
