Description:

"The Living is an experimental film in which Dan Wolman has used many of the principles of the cinema to great advantage. With static shots of statues to begin, the viewer wonders what can possibly be done with this subject. But suddenly, the statues come alive, helped along with music and Wolman's roving camera. His imagination was enough also to win for him the MPD Golden Scissors Award for the best film editing, as well as the MPD Sound Award for the best use of sound" PSA Journal, Aug. 1967, 36.
