1969 · Film · ★ 6

Released in 1969, Spot the Microdot is an animation film directed by Malcolm Le Grice, running about 10 minutes. “An unprintable film, handmade by punching holes into an opaque 16mm strip.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. This film was made by punching circular holes into fully opaque film stock and laying discs of colour film into some of the punched holes. Only the original copy of this film exists – it cannot be printed and is therefore projected only on rare occasions. As with other Le Grice films from the late 1960s, Spot the Microdot is marked by a radical rejection of ‘illusionism’, choosing to focus instead on the material properties of the film medium itself.
How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, Spot the Microdot has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
