The story

What Is Frames of Reference About?

The premise of Frames of Reference without spoilers.

Leacock’s Frames of Reference (1960) is an educational physics short that uses a rotating table and furniture that appear in unexpected spots to illustrate motion. Abraham Morochnik’s crisp cinematography and witty narration by University of Toronto professors Donald Ivey and Patterson Hume show how inventive filmmaking can make a dry subject lively.
