In addition to the selection released on VHS in 1996 this DVD contains rarely seen experimental work from the 1970s and a slideshow of storyboards and commentary on A LITTLE ROUTINE. Holding more than 2 hours of indexed material GRIFFITI is an ideal tool for analyzing and appreciating a body of short films, from the first experiments in technique, to the reflexive "anti-cartoons"
and gallery installations, to the later work based on music and narrative. It also includes a sample of commissioned work.
