How it feels

This is a short film from 1968 that shows scenes from the same world as a later feature. It uses three projectors at the same time, and because the projectors can run at different speeds, the images shift out of sync. Each time the film is shown, the experience can be different.

What happens

For My Crushed Right Eye (つぶれかかった右眼のために, Tsuburekakatta migime no tame ni) (also known as For the Damaged Right Eye) is a 1968 Japanese short film by Toshio Matsumoto. It features some of the same milieu of Matsumoto's 1969 feature film Funeral Parade of Roses, presented through three projectors running simultaneously. Since projectors may run at slightly different speeds, the images can go "out of sync," and each projection of the film can be different. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
