Fellow animator Norman McLaren said of the work of Len Lye, the great New Zealand-born film-maker: "Len Lye has shown the way, and shown it in a masterly and brilliant fashion.”
The programme opens with a film directed by Roger Horrocks about Lye as a teenager in New Zealand, having his “Eureka!” discovery of “the art that moves.” Then there are 14 of Lye's best films to illustrate his rich visual imagination, sense of humour, and love of music. They include films recently restored such as "Prime Time" and "Life's Musical Minute." A surprise extra is "Atomic Power," one of the famous March of Time programmes Lye directed as his "day job".
