@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! :)

This one links to the imdb page of the LOST 1986 Georges Méliès film, so I just unchecked it. You've all probably watched the Lumière short movie with the same name, that you can check at the following link:

LINK REMOVED

EDIT: Link corrected, thanks john milton
EDIT 2: Removed the corrected link as well, please do your research on the correct "Danse serpentine" you are watching.

@ gerryt

I'm still pretty sure that's the right movie, as imdb states "What Farocki Taught is a stubborn film, containing a perfect replica, shot-for-shot, in color and English, of Harun Farocki's 1969 b/w German film 'Inextinguishable Fire'. If you saw the movie at the links I provided, you should check it. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstar:_The_Karen_Carpenter_Story

quote:
Upon its release, the film was a minor art hit, and was shown at several film festivals. However, shortly thereafter, Richard Carpenter viewed the film and became irate with the film's portrayal of his family, in particular because the film insinuated Richard was gay. [...] Richard Carpenter sued Haynes for failing to obtain the clearances and won. As a result of the lawsuit, all copies of the film were to have been recalled and destroyed. Numerous bootleg copies of the film survive and are available on various Internet sites such as YouTube
