"Another entirely structural film is Grain Graphics, which begins with two frames of a film strip, on
above the other, occupying the middle of the screen, flanked by two vertical filmstrips with smaller frames. ln grainy negative, a small number of figures interact in various ways in each of the frames. Gradually, as if the camera were drawing away, this pattern grows smaller and its units increase conespondingly in number, until at the end there appear to be hundreds of rectangles, all with figures busy in motion." - Edgar Daniels, Filmmakers' Monthly
