Shows how the pitcher plant lures insects to its trap, where they drown. The enfolding of insects by the leaf tentacles of the sundew is presented by means of time-lapse photography.
Shows ways in which seeds of plants are scattered in order to insure propagation of the species: dispersal by wind, transportation by animals, and forceful propulsion from the seed case. Describes the anchoring methods of germination by clamping, hooking, adhesion, and corkscrew motion.
Considers various means by which seeds are disseminated; how they anchor themselves to the ground to facilitate germination; and how they protect themselves. Demonstrates the dispersal of seed plants by wind, transportation by animals, and propulsion from seed plants by wind, transportation by animals, and propulsion from seed cases. Describes anchoring methods by clamping, hooking, adhesion, and corkscrew motion. Portrays various natural devices for protection while sprouting.

Marcel Duchamp's only film is an example of "graphic cinema." It wittingly demonstrates the intertwining of the visual and verbal responses to viewing a film. The title itself- "anemic" is an anagram of "cinema." Disks of spirals which create optical illusions alternate with disks containing elaborately obscene puns. Duchamp condenses the whole range of sexual elements involving emergence and penetration of a plane surface into a model association between the illusions of gyrating cones and the allusions to breasts, genitals and defecation. --WorldCat
