Very Nice, Very Nice is N.F.B. filmmaker Arthur Lipsett's opinions about day-to-day life in America interpreted through snapshots and sound collages pondering if life is better than it was thirty years ago.
While working at the National Film Board in 1961, Lipsett collected pieces of audio from the waste bins and pieced them together as a hobby. When his friends heard about this, they suggested that he add images to it. The result was the film Very Nice, Very Nice.
Very Nice, Very Nice was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 34th Academy Awards
