@Olum, the video linked by Ebbywebby fits the Amos Vogel's description: This is an example of minimal cinema "with a purpose". The filmmaker takes a brief scene from an old Hollywood cartoon in which running dogs, deflected by an unseen obstacle, pull up short and stop; by transforming this scene into a continuous loop, the action is compulsively repeated, the dogs running endlessly to and fro, while the image itself is further manipulated and degraded ("I showed the film in Washington once and someone in the audience called it the most savage indictment of American foreign policy he had ever seen" - Standish Lawder)
I think the youtube video description is a bit confusing...
@Ebbywebby: amazing find, the guy probably recorded it here: http://25fps.hr/en/ Before each selection we will screen one title from film history: the introduction to 6pm programme will be Standish Lawder’s Runaway and the 8pm will open with Henri Chomette’s Cinque minutes de cinéma pur.
At first zooming in the wrong direction, and then correcting. The quality is still ok. Thanks for sharing! :)

Note on the youtube link: "From author's found footage cyclus "Film Intervention" - object of treatment is Standish D. Lawder film "Runaway" (1969)."If I'm not wrong, this means this is a remake/remix of the original, and should not count a check.
