N Judah 5:30 (2003)
Directed by Sam Green
Consisting simply of a single shot of a passing train bathed in woozy green light, this short experimental film is weirdly hypnotic and intimately voyeuristic, coming off something like a segment of Koyaanisqatsi remixed by Boards of Canada. It initially seems like a typically slight student film, but leaves behind a haunting ache that stays with you. This is included as a bonus feature on the DVD of Sam Green's The Rainbow Man/John 3:16.
