New York: Dutton, 1970, |cp.167-169 520 In his interview in Expanded Cinema, Belson refers to this film as showing the formation of Adam and Eve and Creation, or the process of humans changing into gods. The film is an example of kinetic energy. Shapes and paint on film quickly pass by while band music plays on the soundtrack. Black leader separates these images. The sound of a cheering throng accompanies firework-like images, followed by male and female visually manipulated faces. On the soundtrack, a garbled German leader metamorphoses into electronic music while the picture becomes grids of small identical units. The imagery becomes more abstract and utilizes typical Belson forms after this point. Cloud forms in red and then green washes pass by. Gases swirl about, representing Creation. At the end, an orb (the sun) appears out of the gases. 541 0 PFA 1604-01-5708. D0139 541 0 PFA 1604-01-5709. D0139 541 0 PFA 1604-01-5707.
