Kinesis films, produced by a group of little-known San Francisco, California experimentalists, are mostly animated "cartoons" that have the glitter and bang-bang sort of interest of a painting exhibition of a famous artist. They practically drug a person with their quick even-cutting pace, lush over-scoring of music, and shallow richness. The idea of most of the Kinesis group is to fake something that is practically nothing (thick swirls of lavaliere paint, etc.), make it march, expand and fade.
