Ross Lipman directs this experimental documentary about the silent
short 'Film' (1965), written by Samuel Beckett. The feature
chronicles the making of Beckett's only movie which left its star
Buster Keaton confused and its writer deriding it as a failure.
Featuring archive footage, critics' interpretations and taped
conversations between Beckett and 'Film''s director Alan Schneider,
the documentary explores the background and influence of the
abstract, solipsistic short.
