GPO animation

The Len Lye/Norman MacClaren stuff from the GPO is quite remarkable. A lot of the animation used was drawn (or cut) directly onto the film. What you get is a beautiful abstract colourful animation followed by an end title that will say "BUY MORE STAMPS". The head of the GPO film unit at the time (John Grierson ?) was enough of a fan to push through the films on this basis.
