“Belden Manor / Curtains & Walls” hazily fades in upon demolition. Shrouded under a sheet of heavy, fat-flaked snow, a crane clamps portions of the building’s remains and tears away little by little. Amongst the violent scene, various construction workers and vehicles trudge through the weather and debris, in a facilitation capacity. A brief survey of the surroundings is given;however, the crane’s destructive prying (and its effects) situates as the short’s fixation.
