Creepy Computer Animated Short from 1974- Hunger

(Video Link)

When you think of computer animation from the mid-70s some pretty rough images probably come to mind, but Hunger might change your mind about what could be done with a computer in the 70s. 

Hunger was made by Peter Foldes in 1974, and it was meant to be a "film satire of self-indulgence in a hungry world", an educational piece created with funding from the National Film Board of Canada.

However, watching it will probably creep you out rather than teaching you anything, but it's not to be missed if you're a lover of vintage and/or surreal animation.

The discussion at Metafilter referred to the "Stay Puft effect" meaning you might mistakenly think of pleasant things when you're supposed to bring up the bad memories, and therefore the good memories would be erased, too.

This makes absolutely no sense to me, unless you are the type of person who remembers one thing and only one thing at a time. I might remember burning myself as a child, which might be nice to forget. But, with that forgetting, will I also lose the memories of mom taking care of me, my best friend walking me home, siblings concerns, and all else associated and intertwined with that memory?
In short, this sounds like a tidy little basis for fiction, but maybe not so great otherwise.
