'Vibrating Horizon' offers us a view of the sea on a grey day. The horizon in the middle divides the image into two equal fields, the sea and the sky. The quietly rolling waves create an almost meditative atmosphere, until the horizon suddenly takes on a life of its own. The camera shakes on its tripod, as though affected by an earthquake, so that the dividing line between the sea and sky is constantly moving. This camera movement causes the sea and waves to lose their spatiality. The two fields become increasingly abstract, and as a result of the pulsing horizon it seems as if they are attempting to push each other out of the frame.

"Bruce Benton's four‐minute “Sympathy for the Devil” uses the classic Rolling Stones recording to lend a sort of frayed irony to a collage of news reel shots of President Nixon, the Vietnam war, Gov. George C. Wallace, riots, Billy Graham and lots of other ducks that aren't sitting as much as they are lying down, exhausted." - Vincent Canby, New York Times, Nov. 19th, 1971

"People with an abiding interest in what young America is thinking today will be happy to learn that with perhaps one exception all the movies in the Whitney Museum's current Teen‐Age Filmmakers program are concerned with nightmare visions. The one exception is “Quiet Snow,” a nature study by Rob Hahn and Corey Kaup, which earns its “perhaps” because after several minutes of pastoral imagery it ends with about 30 seconds of mere blackness accompanied only by noise. For all I know, that may be a nightmare." - Roger Greenspun, New York Times, Oct. 19th, 1971

"An elaborately structured and miserably acted unveiling of how ruinous people are, it looks like nothing so much as a rich kids' meditation on the vanity of life—from the point of view of a posh Manhattan townhouse." - Roger Greenspun, New York Times review Oct. 19th, 1971 David Wise, the son of Electronic Arts Intermix founder Howard Wise and producer Barbara Wise, was a child prodigy whose pre-adolescent films led him to be described by Jonas Mekas as "the Mozart of Cinema."

The great sick nowadays, the traffic, is always under observation. Methods and studies to attempt to decrease harmful discharges. But if planes and trains are constantly under control, the same goes for cars and pedestrians, where an infringement can often cause collateral damage to other drivers and / or pedestrians as well. Examples of how in some cases reckless driving can cause serious damage. Safer driving, on the other hand, can avoid further aggravating the problems of the very sick person.

Sven Elfström (1927-2017) was a full-time manual labourer who started off as a welder at the shipyards in Uddevalla. Eventually he moved to the industrial city of Nynäshamn, south of Stockholm, to work at the manufacturing workshops of the state telecommunications company, Televerket. Elfström began shooting 8mm films at an amateur film club in Uddevalla. When moving to Nynäshamn he acquired a 16mm camera. Most of the eleven films that he made in this format are shot in Nynäshamn; the actors in these films were friends and family. The films were self-financed, shot and edited by himself, often on reversal film stock as this was the cheapest way to make a film. This means that usually neither negatives nor additional copies exist of these films, but merely one original print. UTVECKLING? starts with a fierce critique against capitalism, consumerism and man’s exploitation of the world.
