Overview
The short film is a montage of sped up clips of The Ringling Brothers Circus in action set to a musical track. The film is separated into four segments, each segment which focuses on different acts within the circus. The later segments often incorporate clips from earlier segments, mostly as background to the featured acts. The speed of the clips match the tempo of the soundtrack music.

Viewing Notes
Seems only appropriate that Jonas Mekas is included in the WHAT IS CINEMA doc and has a short film in the extras. Mekas recently passed away and was a huge contributor to the cinema world not just with his films but in establishing a foundation that lives on today.
