- "When Conner was commissioned to design the poster for the 1965
New York Film Festival he constructed TEN SECOND FILM, which he
intended to act as its television commercial and to precede the
film programs in the theater. It was a public 'Leader' in that it
was composed, like the poster, of a series of ten strips of film
(each 24 frames long) of count-down leader, seen as fundamental
heraldry of motion picture exhibition. The leaders of the
Festival, however, felt it was too risky to submit the public to this
secret image of their heritage." --Anthony Reveaux
One reason the festival gave for rejecting the film was it "went
too fast." It travels the right speed: 24 frames per second. 240.
Count 'em.
