Man on Roof (1979)
Color UCLA Animation Workshop Film, preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. A handdrawn animation of a ghostly bman flying above the top of a cinema where "Man on Roof" is playing, only to be shot and killed by a police helicopter. An audience laughs at his dying body. The curtain falls and the audience begins asking to play the animation again, so the film reverses and plays again, only for two critics to speak over the film, debating whether the animation is a political statement.
