"The sea, tranquil and violent, is the ultimate symbol for Jerry Abrams' EYETOON and the ultimate equivalent to making love -- his concern in this short and visually dazzling film. Abrams contrasts the rushing faces of New York and a highway juggernaut with the peaceful joining of bodies in a Gjon Mili-like stroboscopic sequence -- always with a burbling, flashing maelstrom of emotions underlying and double-exposing with the bodies. It is visually lovely, technically first-rate and impossible to ignore. The graphic sex is economically handled." -- John L. Wasserman, San Francisco Chronicle

Be-In

Jerry Abrams

Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Set to hard rock such as only San Francisco blues can produce. BE-IN contains Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Timothy Leary, Michael McClure, Lenore Kandel and Buddha. Music by Blue Cheer.

Kamikaze Hearts

Juliet Bashore

Tigr, Sharon Mitchell

Overdose of Degradation

Jerry Abrams

Anna Travers

Jennifer (Anna Travers) enjoys the simple things in life, like long contemplative walks in the park and filling a bathtub full of milk and climbing in for a good Vitamin A enriched soak. OK, scratch that. She's a freak. In fact, she loves thinking back to the good old days when a pervert tried to touch her chest as a little girl and a later encounter where a man tried to bite her during sex. So it should come as no surprise that after she's raped in the park, her trauma registers as nonexistent and she's getting down and dirty with a lesbian pick-up about two minutes later. Ah, the 70s.

Sub Rosa Rising

Jerry Abrams

Johnny Calkins, Mary Smith

A sex documentary examining the varieties of sexual activity in San Francisco. It includes explicit footage from live sex shows and behind the scenes of a pornographic movie. A highlight is the film's period footage of San Francisco in the late '60s and early '70s.

Mainstream

Jerry Abrams

The infinite span of a thought is transformed into spatial-temporal intersects -- to become and become and become and never more or less -- MAINSTREAM is a fresh dip into oblivion -- a confused taste of love -- an expanded glimpse into a micro-moment -- a sliver of mind's motion becoming.

Lotus Wing

Jerry Abrams

The world is recommitting sexual-political suicide by daily insertion of missile-cocks into self-orifices. Complete with ejaculatory delusions, military erections, and the animated virility of Krazy Kat. LOTUS WING spends USA over us all as our lives are spent wiping up the remains of our self-destruct. Probably my last film in this genre.
