"Very Nice, Very Nice" is a 7 minute long avant-garde film made by Arthur Lipsett in 1961. It was completed with funding from the National Film Board of Canada.

While working at the National Film Board, Lipsett collected pieces of audio and pieced them together as a hobby. When his friends heard the product of this they suggested that he add images to it. This film is the result.

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject in 1962.

This film brought Lipsett much acclaim and for a time allowed him great freedom in the Canadian film industry, however, his follow up films were less mainstream and the public quickly lost interest in him.

By 1970 this film had 200 prints in circulation. It is often shown at film festivals and in film schools.
