500 No title, credits, or date on film or leader. Clear lab
leader at end identifies this as a Jordan Belson film.
Belson's spiral logo is printed on at head of film.
However, William Moritz claims this is a collaborative
work by James Whitney and Belson that was part of a sound
and light show series in San Francisco in the late 1950s.
According to Sheldon Renan, the series was called the
Vortex concerts, and ran from 1957 to 1959 at the Morrison
Planetarium.
500 This roll appears to be camera original. A videotape
transfer of the film with the music track added (owned by
William Moritz) runs at 01:52, perhaps because it was
transferred at 18 fps. The music on Moritz' videotape is
Haut voltage by Pierre Henry.
500 Jordan Belson states that the film is by James Whitney,
and that he suggested the music for the film.
500 Running time at 24 fps: 01:26.

520 The film consists of abstract optical printing work,
painting directly on film, and what appears to be a small
section of computer-generated "snow" or "bits."
