Description

One of the most powerful, thought-provoking collage films produced during the New American Cinema Movement. Almost schizophrenic in its kaleidoscopic barrage of images, this film -- like 2x2 -- dynamically conveys the bewilderment, frustration, annoyance, and anger of the modern generation in a stream-of-consciousness audio-visual onslaught of superimpositions. Produced by one of the leaders of the San Francisco New American Cinema Movement and a top producer of light shows. Awards: 1966 Ann Arbor Film Festival (1st Prize); 1966 University of Cincinnati Film Festival (1st prize).
