This is an art film from a collection entitled "Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941". It consists of lots of art films that are of probably little interest to the average viewer--art lovers and cinemaniacs excepted! "Tarantella" is a dance named after the spider. However, this film isn't about spiders. It consists of piano music (not the pleasant kind) as objects flash and appear on the screen. The commentary on the films indicated that Mary Ellen Bute and Ted Nemeth were influenced by Kandinsky--and you can see this through their use of geometric shapes (particularly circles). It's really impossible to give this film a numerical score--it's weird and hard to put into words.
