Description
"When I arrived in the United States in the mid-1960s, it was the height of the hippie movement and the black riots. I was living in the East Village in New York, which was a center of the former, and I often watched the news on television about the latter. These two films, Film Strips I and II, were made from these scenes respectively, not as a documentary but as an interior account, abstract yet chaotic."
