Kick the World is a short 1974 experimental film by Kawanaka Nobuhiro.
Writes Kawanaka, "Video is a medium of image as well as sound. Walking on a gravel road with a camera, the crunch sound is captured in real time. Such [an] observation seems obvious, but as a filmmaker, the ability to record sound in real time was very new to me. Referencing a can-kicking game I played as a child, I followed the rolling can and recorded the resonant sounds of the can hitting the ground."

I was curious where he was walking around, with the pyramids and such:

I think that's a steel can - incredible that we used to use those for a drink and then just throw them in the landfill
