A deliberately non-synchronous film, shot in 8mm with the sound on tape. Piero Heliczer reads his poem "The Autumn Feast," and the visuals interact with, but does not literally represent, what is read.
Part of the Dirt Trilogy
A documentary on the beginnings of the cultural revolution on the Lower East Side, New York.
Two nuns take a bath, then meet a sailor on the Staten Island Ferry.
"Considered to be Mr. Heliczer's most experimental film." - Piero Heliczer
The story of Joan of Arc as applied to the present revolution in arts and more. The Gothic is applied to the War in Vietnam. The film is experimental in the sense that in it the visual becomes tactile.
Filmed mainly in the West Village with other parts in Normandy Place St. Sulpice and Colchester (Essex).
