Confessions of a Black Mother Succuba

Confessions of a Black Mother Succuba

Recurrent themes of violence, sex and TV commercials. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2004.

Deep Westurn

Deep Westurn

A ‘film wake’. Though celebratory in mood, it has a mournful subtext… death and dying. We dedicated it to Dr. Sam West, departed friend and patron of the arts, trusting that his ghost would approve our hi-jinx and seeming irreverence. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2002.

Grateful Dead

Grateful Dead

A chaotic film featuring the Grateful Dead. The songs that are included are Sitting on Top of the World, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Cold Rain and Snow, and something that might be Viola Lee Blues. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2007.
