A short animated film by Tadanari Okamoto.

I first started by taking a black 16mm film leader and holding a magnifying glass above the film. I then used the sunlight to burn each frame in the film leader. At the same time that I was burning the film leader, I was also filming the process of burning each frame. After developing the film, I then physically burned each frame with a soldiering iron in the exact same area that it was burned by the sunlight. The result was that when projected, one would see the filming of the burn at the same time one sees a single frame action of the physical burning of the film, followed by other concepts dealing with 24 frames. 24 frames make one second and this gives the illusion of smoothness. However, because each frame was burned, it gives an animated impression together with the smoothness of 24 frames.

This is an entertaining lesson about the history of British pubs as discovered by time-travelling warriors from the battle of 1066. It then jumps to 1166 and examines ale houses, before moving onto 1366 and looking in on a monastery where they brew their own ales. Our time travelling guides then jump forward to 1539 to the dissolution of the monasteries and then onto 1601 when pubs first have to be licensed, during the Elizabethan era. It continues on through the ages, with funny vignettes right up to the 1970s where pubs have gone back to serving food with their alcohol. It all ends in a sing-a-long, strangely reminiscent of something you would later see during a ‘Horrible Histories’ programme.
