Gymnopedies (1965) - Larry Jordan

Objects and characters are cut loose from habitual meanings, also from tensions and gravitational limitations. A lyric Eric Satie track accompanies the film. Such a portrait seems necessary from time to time to remind us that equilibrium and harmony are possible, and that we will not dissolve into a jelly if we allow ourselves to relax into them: A horseman rides through the landscape, through the town, but never arrives anywhere in particular. An acrobat swings on a rope above a canal in Venice, and is content just to swing there. Nothing threatens to disturb them.

Maybe this was what might have inspired Terry Gilliam's animated sequences in Monty Pythons Flying Circus.

@Stewart Lynch
You need to look up Harry Smith's Heaven and Earth Magic to see where both of them probably got their inspiration..

What we need is a sort of 'film troubadour' for this kind of art.
Dank? Diggity Dank maybe... try full-screening it at night.
The movement+stops make it seem really fresh.
