The Hog Farm Movie, Light Show Loop and Other Films

Wavy Gravy and David Lebrun in Person. Ice cream provided by Ben and Jerry's Haight & Ashbury Scoop Shop! David Lebrun's psychedelicumentary The Hog Farm Movie (1970, 37 mins, Color, Original Kodachrome Print) is a rollicking look at the communal Hog Farmers on tour circa '69, led by Wavy Gravy, the pig prince himself. A caravan of flowery buses careens across America bringing a "celebration of yourself": this is the rolling Hogfest, complete with geodesic dome, light show, rock band, and liberated porkers. Lebrun's harlequin film is very much an extension of the Hogger ethos, boisterous, free-spirited, and slightly zonkers. The wise and woolly voice-over, mostly from Wavy, is a celebratory casting of pearls before swine. "'We' is just 'me' in a clump," says Berkeley's favorite clown and ice cream flavor. Lebrun will also demonstrate a mid-sixties Light Show Loop made for variable speed projector and color wheel.
