Numen Lumen Meditations on light and a window fan for Jerry Hiler and Nick Dorsky. "Warm regards from the West Coast -- I only wish I had seen your films much sooner than I did because we are so much closer as filmmakers than I ever could have expected." - Jerome Hiler

Quick Constant and Solid... “Quick Constant and Solid Instant documents a Flux Mass at Voorhees Chapel at Rutgers University in 1969; intercut with the paintings of John Wallington, and Rod Townley on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Soundtrack: Gerard Malanga, reading his poems at The Rose Room, Rutgers University, 1969.” – Wheeler Winston Dixon “The rich filmic collapse of personal memory into cultural history is summed up at the end of Quick Constant and Solid Instant (1969), a Fluxus performance set to a Gerard Malanga poetry reading. ‘It will take you a long time,’ intones Malanga, ‘to understand why I wrote poems for you.’” - Ed Halter, The Village Voice

Wedding "A wedding in 1969 with several dear friends; shot on one reel of 16mm film, with all superimpositions done in the camera. Soundtrack: Gabriel Fauré." - Wheeler Winston Dixon

Children of Light "On The 4th of July in upstate New York, 1969, at a small farm I owned at the time, local children and their parents play with sparklers in the evening - a very simple film." - Wheeler Winston Dixon

Madagascar, or, Caroline... "This is a short film based on an incident I read in the National Enquirer, a really innocuous item about Caroline partying late at night with Erskine Guinness, the heir to the Guinness Brewery fortune. I imagined Caroline waking up the next morning, recovering from the excesses of the night before, and trying to mix some orange juice in a blender, but being so out of it that she used three cans of gin instead of water to make the concentrate into OJ. It’s an odd film; runs about 1:30." - Wheeler Winston Dixon

Stargrove "A brief film from 1974 - really an experiment - which uses eight layers of superimposition to create a work of such density that no one image dominates for more than a few seconds." - Wheeler Winston Dixon

Dante and the Invention ... A rich and stimulating study into the themes, historical context and far-reaching influence of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, the first part of his 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy.
