Richard Beymer, star of 1961’s West Side Story, playfully filmed in and around Big Sur, California, with his friends in the early ’70s. What started with no specific concept or goal turned into a mind-blowing, mystical feature reflecting the era of psychedelic consciousness, complete with collages of hypnotic imagery and a meticulously curated soundtrack. This screening presents the recently restored 1975 version, supervised by Beymer as part of his ongoing revision of his life’s work.
