A series of zooms -in and -out, “Curtain & Walls” hypnotically shifts back and forth between the titular surfaces. With about twenty seconds left, the rhythm deviates, as the shot cuts to what appears to be a different curtain, followed by a cut to a reel of film, which abstractly digresses to the short’s finale.
