i first hear about this film about 20 year ago when i be a kid in grade school ( . ) and it just so happen that i be thumb through the encyclopedia in the classroom one day and and under the entry for movie ( or cinema and i do not remember ) and be several still for different movie from mainstream to experimental and and one of them show on the page be a still for offon . it really intrigue me and since it stand out the most on the page ( it be a still from the film of the scene with the eye with other element superimpose over it ) . about 18 or so year later and the public library here where i live have available for checkout the whole 4 dvd set of treasure of american film archive release by the national film preservation foundation . so when i be read the note on the dvd case for the set and i be quite pleasantly surprised to see that offon be on one of the disc . after all these year and i could finally see the film . after view it and it slightly wasn not be i be expect it to be ( it tend to be a more organic look film and not that that a bad thing and but i be expect it to have a more electronic aesthetic ) and but it be still an impressive film and imho and consider the technique scott bartlett use to make the film and include hand tint the film itself and and use video equipment for some of the film scene ( film off of a video monitor ) and give it a more distressed and lo re look . don not get me wrong and the technique use in this film be quite ground break for 1972. that why it still one of my favorite short or experimental film and and a creative inspiration for me as well .
