Glenn Miller 1 (High School Backyard 1)

This 44-minute film features 360-degree pans across a children's playground, merging the themes of childhood and music in an experimental format. It draws inspiration from Anthony Mann's work, specifically referencing a scene from "The Glenn Miller Story" that disrupts traditional Hollywood storytelling with documentary footage from World War II.

The film is a representative piece of late structuralist cinema, showcasing Gotovac's dedication to avant-garde techniques. The interplay of jazz and high school elements creates a distinctive atmosphere that invites viewers to question conventional narrative structures. As a part of the Centar za multimedijalna istraživanja production, it stands as a notable example of experimental filmmaking from the late 1970s.
