Hi Jim -
It's definitely Hall of Mirrors by Sonbert. The
film's in three parts, first part being the found
footage bit, which has "What Becomes of the Broken
Hearted" playing over it. I don't know what film the
found footage is from, but it's outtakes and trims
from a sequence with a woman getting freaked out by a
carnival hall of mirrors, eventually being led away
sobbing by some guy.
The second part is the "mopey kid" bit, with the Left
Banke song, and the third part is Gerard Malanga
walking through that famous Hall of Mirrors
installation by I forget which artist. This last bit
is set to the main theme from Godard's Contempt by
Georges Delerue.
