Paranoia

On the evening of November 8th, 1966, following the afternoon filming of The George Hamilton Story, a movie in which Warhol cast his mother Julia as an “aging peroxide movie star with a lot of husbands”, – “ We’re trying to bring back old people.” – he took his crew and a much larger cast to Kaleidoscope, fashion designer Tiger Morse’s boutique shop on Madison Avenue in New York City, to shoot his second unreleased film of the day. A nocturnal tale of downtown bulls in an uptown China shop, Paranoia is a portrait of the always captivating, always hilarious Morse as she converses with everyone in front of and behind the camera while genuinely attempting to keep the Superstars in the room from wreaking havoc on her uniquely curated curios.

Canon

Perhaps the only film whose content is totally based on the musical form known as canon. The first sequence is a simple demonstration of the canon "Frere Jacques" where four cubes dance and combine with one another on a checkerboard. The second sequence show four little human-like figures dancing in space. The third and most elaborate sequence shows a human going through several strange gesticulations. Through multiple printing we realize that the man, as in the previous sequences, is part of a visual canon and is making the gestures to himself. As we hear variations on the canonic theme so too do we witness visual variations: a woman and cat enters the canon. To show the musical technique of inversion, the image of the man is printed upside down.

Man of Steel

Jeff Forbes, president of Alliance Steel, takes his wife and son Kevin on a trip to the Yukon for a hunting trip with "utterly godless" drunkard Klondike Joe. But - surprise! - Klondike Joe is no longer a drunk. Instead, he’s been "converted by this BARRY MOORE fellow," a real-life evangelist who "transformed" Joe and now starts on Jeff and Kevin. Sure enough, not only does Jeff start reading the Bible, but loses interest in the company because he’s "had a transforming experience with Jesus Christ!" Kevin, on the other hand, becomes a teenage drunk after his white-trash girlfriend Dana tries to lure him away from religion with parties and ­ gasp! - bottles of beer. But when one of Kevin’s drunken buddies puts on a dress and falls off the roof of a house, Kevin wants to take Dana to Barry’s Big Crusade.

View from the People Wall

The subject of problem solving begins with an explanation of what the Eameses called “the information machine, “a device for presenting information in fragments so that viewers are compelled to see new relationships among events, objects and people.” The narrative accompanying the images points out the relationships between solving both simple and complicated problems, and then demonstrates that complex problems are solved by the computer with the same logical procedures that people use to solve simple ones. Los Angeles International Film Exposition (Filmex) Acknowledgement of participation, 1973.
