The Broken Rule

THE BROKEN RULE is my reaction to the American education system where learning blocks must be acquired by the group before any individual can progress to the next level My film pictures learning blocks as relay races conducted by male players where the girls are scores and the goal is to enter the working world by the end of the game Mike Kelley the lead player in my film makes a ritual out of his mistakes to escape the consequences of his mistakes In this film one persons work is another persons play and play creates competition a component of work EB 1979
