US 1966. D: Ed Emshwiller. Starring Ralph Ashby, Nancy Griffith. Funded by the Ford Foundation. 16mm, colour, sound, 38 min. Viewed at Cinema Orion, Helsinki, 29 March 2008. A cosmic vision with some kinship to the Eames' Powers of Ten. Gorgeous print of a highly professional, gorgeously shot (originally 35mm?) film with elaborate penetrating forward tracking shots, visions of cavemen, shock images of butchers, voluptuous shots of the nude woman.
