Architecture of the Petroleum Age (1975) - 28 minutes

A tongue-in-cheek short film about how cars have influenced architecture. I personally think David Byrne saw this before making the film True Stories, as some of the comedic elements refined in the latter are present here.

Winner of the 2nd annual Student Academy Awards (held in 1975) in the Experimental category. CREDITS: An Arbitrary film with help from Tom Hanzen and Don Quaintance. Made at the Rice Media Center thanks to James Blue. Music of Changing Parts: Philip Glass. St. Louis Blues March: Glenn Miller, RCA Records. Additional Music by Dale Buell and Ken Ward.
