What Is Odds & Ends About?
The premise of Odds & Ends without spoilers.
A sly commentary on collage film and Beat culture, the piece weaves discarded travel and advertising footage with a mix of animation—assemblages, cutouts, color fields and line drawings—over faux‑hipster narration by Jacobs (credited as Rheny Bojacs) accompanied by bongos. The monologue, full of doublespeak and non‑sequitur musings on poetry, jazz, public outreach and grant subsidies, pairs images of champagne, tropical beaches, exotic peoples and rhythmic stop‑motion drawings, creating dazzling visual transformations that both amplify and undercut the narration.
