Abstract
A collection of Peter Greenaway's early avant-garde films created between 1969 and 1978. A series of highly innovative and witty short films which are immensely playful and take pleasure in outlandish detail, fake erudition and corkscrew narratives.The content of the six playful shorts features a wide variety of themes - from the condensed, wry history of 37 people who have fallen to their deaths from windows ("Windows"), to a sequence of 92 maps to guide a dead ornithologist on his way into the afterlife ("A walk through H").
