A pretty girl seems to float among the stars in this short film from Pathe Freres.
As she writhes and twirls, the camera seems to do much the same, giving an air of lightness and floating in a gravityless environment. This particular technique does not seem to have survived in the language of cinema, but it is an interesting experiment.

Four young men start to gain traction in their lives. It all goes to pieces when they rob a shopkeeper, and one of them shoots him.
Ernest Dickerson makes the transition from cinematographer to director with this movie, and gets some fine performances out of his young leads: Omar Epps, Tupac Shakur, Jermaine Hopkins, and Khalil Kain. The film was stuck in production hell for seven years, but the result is that the work is thoroughly assured; clearly Dickerson had spent some of that time thinking about this film while he was lensing Spike Lee's joints.
