Narrative interest pales in comparison to the sound and visual experimentation, however. As with The Coming of the Dial, its worth noting that low-budget cinema remained quite close to the silent era and so it is that Pett and Potts unavoidable reliance on a post-synch soundtrack allows the visuals to escape into their own realm and create their own rhythms: a burst of slow-motion straight out of Ren Clairs Entracte; unabashed use of repetition; continually striking montages. Add to this the overall oddness and kooky charm and the short becomes an unexpected delight, quite outside of the documentary norms seen elsewhere on these discs.

As such Song of Ceylon is also a film which has been maligned for numerous reasons over the years: blatant propaganda; paean to imperialism; vehicle of unknowable exoticism. Yet, to my mind, its the very indirectness of its message that allows this short to avoid such pitfalls. Wright simply observes and lets the material speak for itself, never once making connections in the obvious sense and thus showing his hand (if, indeed, he has one). Admittedly the soundtrack, created entirely after-the-fact, may face questions as to authenticity, especially when giving voice to the locals, but surely the only genuine subversion is that Wright took a potentially banal project and turned it into a stirring piece of cinema, still remarkable to this day.

Len Lye much like McLaren animated directly onto the film stock itself producing flourishes of colour and rhythm that burst into life and are over far too quickly
