Ross Lipman directs this experimental documentary about the silent short 'Film' (1965), written by Samuel Beckett. The feature chronicles the making of Beckett's only movie which left its star Buster Keaton confused and its writer deriding it as a failure. Featuring archive footage, critics' interpretations and taped conversations between Beckett and 'Film''s director Alan Schneider, the documentary explores the background and influence of the abstract, solipsistic short.
