I liked the idea that Kurt Kren had such a set idea of what he was going to make in 3/60 Bäume im Herbst. Initially I thought that it was just a bunch of random stills of different angles of trees. It's really cool that he knew precisely what angles he wanted to create this film. To me, it was almost like a kaleidoscope or some abstract painting. The entire film seemed circular and this was apparently achieved through the speed in which the frames were switched. In some ways the pseudo-randomness of it reminded me of the free-form, naked eye kind of camera use in Brakhage's films.
I also enjoyed Peter Weiss' work. The body parts appeared to be from the same body but did not connect. I'm not sure why I liked it. I guess it was cool looking.
I wish I had the attention span to fully enjoy Chris Marker's film but alas I fell asleep for some of it. The film seemed to be one of the few films with a certain narrative but what was portrayed on-screen was quite different.
