When I was in college, one night I finished a class and was walking across campus, when I heard interesting sounds coming from a building I didn't know. I walked in and discovered it was a mini cinema, showing this film, for a class. I'd never seen anything like it, and I was instantly hooked. I continued to study those nights in the little cinema and enjoyed those art films a lot.
