A Trip Down Memory Lane is a 1965 experimental collage film by Arthur Lipsett,[1] created by editing together images and sound clips from over 50 years of newsreel footage.[2]
Summary
The film was intended as an audiovisual tour of the post-war technocracy. In his notes for producer Donald Brittain about the film, Lipsett wrote that "as science grows, religious belief seems to have diminished... The new machines (of every description) are now invested with spiritual qualities. They have become ritualistic implements."[3] Lipsett envisioned his film as a kind of cinematic time capsule for future generations, and sub-titled the film accordingly, as "Additional Material for a Time-Capsule."[4]
