Glass making doco with Jazz backing (Pim Jacobs)

[romualdo]

Check this amazing glass making documentary "Glas" by Bert Haanstra that won an Oscar in 1959 (best documentary - short subject)

The soundtrack involved the Pim Jacobs Quintet & avant electronic music.

I was intrigued watching their hands & mouths - much like playing instruments

The prominence of the clarinet is entirely appropriate here

I remember watching this film in elementary school. I came of age at a time when all these amazing shorts, including the films by Charles and Ray Eames, were shown in school on 16mm projectors. These films greatly helped to shape my sense of aesthetics before I even realized it.

Thanks for posting.
