The sun's gone dim and the sky's turned black video

By Nikolai Galitzin. Richard Stanley, Corentin Lecourt, Maxwell Isaac & Immo Horn.

Nikolai Galitzin was asked to do a film for one of the songs on the IBM 1401 album. He asked 4 of his filmmaker friends to come to Iceland and shoot 5 different stories, one story for each filmmaker. Then the 5 films were combined into one film, in a variation of the surrealist game of "Cadavre Exquis".
