Going Around in Circles

About This Movie

Going Around in Circles is a curious little piece from 1973 that really plays with how we perceive movement and perspective. Holt's experimental approach, using a board with circular cutouts, allows for some interesting visual play as we watch subjects navigating between points. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as the boundaries of what we see shift with each frame. It has this raw, unrefined quality that you don't see much anymore, making it distinctive in the landscape of early video art. The atmosphere is quietly engaging, asking you to reflect rather than just observe.

Going Around in Circles has a certain allure for collectors, especially those interested in avant-garde cinema and early video experimentation. The film’s rarity can make it difficult to find, particularly in good condition, and the lack of a known director adds to its mystique. Many collectors appreciate its unique approach to visual storytelling, making it a conversation piece among enthusiasts of niche film history.
