Surface: A Film from Underneath: I love this. A thousand playful narratives, albeit one unhappy ending. At first glance you may think it’s about the technique but it quickly becomes more than that. (2.30 minutes)
Infinity: An ode to Tokyo. A sweet mood piece. (3.55 minutes)

I really liked Infinity until I saw that it was an ad for a watch. Cut out the advertisement and just leave the film itself and it'd be gold.
thanks!

I don't mind the ending for Surface either...although it is a surprise within something that seems very joyous.
I'm always debating wether to show commercials, or even music videos. I try to only play either when the the movie is enhanced by the product and not the other way around. I thought Infinity fit that since it's sense of time and 'clockwork construction" was a beautifully undercurrent in the movie.
That said, I did see Infinity as the "side b" of the pair. Sometime I love both movies equally, other times they are paired more because they feel right together.
