(I can't seem to embed the video, so just click the link and watch it on Vimeo). This was the first film project I completed. There was only a crew of two, and it was shot on a Bolex 16mm camera. The intent was to create a mood with images of a location and music, which I failed at. But because of my affection for the location (the square that Forrest Gump waits for the bus in front of), I attempted to make it look like an old home movie. I'm relatively satisfied with it (it came out much better than my incoherent narrative final).

That was pretty neat! I had to work with the 16mm Bolex for several projects last year... it's certainly quite the charmer of a camera. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to use black and white film stock - the cinematography here looked gorgeous.
When I read your description (keyword: mood), I had pictured pretentious art school fair with something like Godspeed! You Black Emperor in the background and extreme closeups of eyes. I thought this was an interesting route to go, and both the locations and the people you shot were highly photogenic.
Something I noticed: in a film about a location, i'm concentrating on time and space. I certainly got a sense of what the space was... but no grasp on the time. Due to the primitive nature of the camera, as well as some of the older architecture, the film could of been made anytime within the last few decades (ignoring a few clothing items). I found that pretty interesting.
Good job... would love to see your incoherent narrative film, though!
