The film is a documentary on the construction of a skyscraper, narrated by the project's architect, crane operator, and various specialists. It details the process from planning to completion, emphasizing the efficient use of limited urban space by building upward. Key phases include laying deep foundations, constructing a massive steel frame, and installing interior and exterior elements. The building, featuring high-speed elevators, escalators, stores, and restaurants, functions as a self-contained urban hub. The project, culminating in a "topping out" ceremony, symbolizes the collaborative effort of hundreds over two years, resulting in an 82-story building that significantly contributes to city life.

In Kō-Fū, Touch Me transformed everyday snapshots into a world of intense luminosity by applying frame-by-frame optical processing using an optical printer he made himself. Kō-Fū translates as “Shining Breeze” and refers to “a scene of rice fields just after a typhoon has gone, when it is still windy and the leaves of rice are waving in the stream of wind with raindrops which are shining by reflecting the sunlight." The repetitive, flickering images and minimalist music create a psychedelic trip effect in this film, which is made up of short, high-contrast black-and-white footage processed through precise frame-by-frame optical processing.

The rituals and philosophies of indigenous non-Western cultures recur throughout Viola's work. In 1976, he travelled to the Solomon Islands with portable color video equipment, which was then a new technology. The first of two "visionary documentaries" produced during his two-month stay, Memories of Ancestral Power centers on the cult leader Moro and his efforts to retain ancient traditions in the face of increasing Western influence. In this collaboration of Viola, Moro, and his followers, much of the structure and content of the recordings were determined by the subjects themselves. Moro explains his vision during the course of a visit to the House of Memories and other sacred sites in the village.

Soundtrack: Subduing Demons in America, John Giorno; Actress: Lillian North. A film dealing with the alteration of human scaling within the 16mm frame. The "star" walks from one edge of the screen, passes the center, but never reaches the opposite edge. Shot in extreme slow motion, this film creates an unusual and bizarre sense of timelessness and distance. This allows the viewer to become involved with every subtle movement within the frame. The "center" of the frame is constantly emptying itself, creating a vacuum, and is left entirely open, only to be filled again, not with images, however, but with the mind's eye. The space created in the center of the frame allows one to pass through the film and enter an inner dimension of visual perception. A cycle is attained whereby the film, emptying itself, gives the viewer the space he needs so that he may feed energy back into the space. This film is a unique approach to dealing with space that surrounds filmic images.

Louise Nevelson was more than 60 by the time the art world acknowledged her as one of America’s greatest living sculptors. In her early years she had little money for materials, so she constructed her art out of discarded wood found abandoned in the streets of New York. Transformed, this unlikely raw material became the stuff of her famous black boxes and, later, the huge cubistic environmental art works which she innovated. For Godmilow’s 1977 film, Nevelson agreed for the first time to be filmed while she worked, during the creation of two major new sculptures, resulting in an invaluable document of her process. A charismatic and dynamic personality with an iconoclastic approach to life, Nevelson admits that her works are “really for my visual eye…a feast for myself.”

In 'Metro Means of Conveyance', Hedman refines the non-literary and visually poetic idiom. Time and motion has been sculpted in graphic black and white on the two-dimensional screen. Time and motion are fundamental dimensions for film as an art form. A pendulum movement, subjectively illustrating a measured length of time. Shadows, contrasts and abstracted light sources, further elaborated. Metro is based on impressions of Chatelet Metro station in Paris. It is individualistic and subtle portrayal of an atmosphere and setting as seen through the linguistic syntax of the film strip. (Filmform)
