What makes this film worth watching?

This film is a response to the filmmaking techniques of Stan Brakhage, especially his 1963 short "Mothlight." Like Brakhage, Biermann seems to be concerned with the materiality of the filmmaking process. Of course, what does "materiality" mean in the digital world? The digital world doesn't really leave us with discrete frames the way that film does. Biermann seems to overcome this problem by using photographic images from his scanner to replicate the feel of film. ORANGE is an interesting exercise, a blend of analog and digital with neither canceling the other out.
