This is Scott's directorial debut, featuring his brother Tony as "the boy" (at time 14??) on the bicycle. It is an experimental film and is meant to be a bit weird. It was shot in 1958 and was brought to big screen in 1965. It's really a rather beautiful little black and white film that shows hints of things to come in films like Alien and Blade Runner. This version comes from the short film collection:
Which in addition to Scott, features short experimental from from the likes of Peter Greenaway, Christopher Nolan, & Mike Leigh, to name just a few. Unfortunately the entire series is out of print. If you can find it cheaply on the secondary market, it comes recommended by me.
The original film 27 minutes long; below is a clip:
