I would like to recommend some experimental shorts which might be of
interest. It is unlikely that you'll find them at the local video store
(outside of Major Metro Areas), but many can be purchased online:
"Meshes Of the Afternoon"
"A Study In Choreography For the Camera"
"Ritual in Transfigured Time"
and others...
by Maya Deren
who stands as one of the major mileposts of experimental/independent
cinema -

also:
Return to Reason - Man Ray (1923, 3 minutes) Moving Ray-o-grams...
Anemic cinema - Marcel DuChamp (1926) Birth of Conceptual Cinema...
Early Abstractions - Harry Smith (1939-1956, 23 min.) Anything by Smith
is worth a look.
In The Street - Helen Levitt (1944, 15 min.) Captures the teeming
parade of humanity along East 103rd Street in New York.
Motion Painting No. 1 - Oskar Fischinger (1947) About "abstraction".
Mothlight - Stan brakhage (1963, 4 min.) Film made w/o a camera; pasting
moth wings onto celluloid.
Nymphlight - Joseph Cornell (1957, 7 min) Anything by Cornell will do in
a pinch.
Rythmetic - Evelyn Lambart, Norman McLaren (1956, 9 min.) Digits meet
in playful encounter, add and subtract, jostle, attack, and elude one another.
Happy Hunting!
