The CutUps

Essentially a dizzying montage of quirky shots of legendary Beat Generation writer William S Burroughs and noted surrealist artist Brion Gysin this nearly 20 minute avantgarde short features repeated articulations of such random things as Hello Where are we now and Look at that picture instead of music or standard dialogue The narrative is decidedly nonlinear and perplexing with no discernible plot whatsoever as we see images of Gysin working on his paintings and calligraphic designs and Burroughs rummaging through draws packing a suitcase giving a young man a physical making a call in a phone booth and waiting on a platform for a subway train
