Colour Box, A
- Synopsis
- Len Lye pioneered the technique of painting directly on to the film negative, and this is the first film that he brought to John Grierson. Grierson liked the film and told him to go away and paint the new cheaper rates for parcel post on the last sequence so the Post Office could buy it. As a consequence Lye joined the GPO Film Unit.
