“Time Piece” is a brilliant experimental short film made by Jim Henson in 1965.

From the IMDB listing for “Time Piece”:

Dislocation in time, time signatures, time as a philosophical concept, and slavery to time are some of the themes touched upon in this nine-minute, experimental film, which was written, directed, and produced by Jim Henson-and starred Jim Henson! Screened for the first time at the Museum of Modern Art in May of 1965, Time Piece enjoyed an eighteen-month run at one Manhattan movie theater and was nominated for an Academy Award for outstanding short subject.

Frank OZnowiz and the Great Rudy Van Gelder (engineer for Blue Note) were involved in this great film too.
