"Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine" is a 16.5-minute short film from 2005, so it had its 10th anniversary last year. It is an Austrian production by writer and director Peter Tscherkassky and one of his later works. He is known for being one of the most known modern experimental filmmakers who still makes films today and here he gives us his take on western experimentalism. Greeg tragedy also plays a role in this one. The title is true as this film has lots of light and sound, but I cannot say these factors were used at the right places or occasions here as I found this a pretty underwhelming watch. I have seen worse stuff from Tscherkassky even, but then again I am not a fan at all when it comes to experimentalism. Anyway, glad this was over quickly and 4 stars out of 10 still feels fairly generous to me. I don't recommend the watch.
