West By North

(16mm, 1977, 25:03 minutes)



The direction of Western Culture's advance has been WXN, and now no further planetary
geography remains into which to penetrate. Today there is talk of heading to Mars ...
a benighted concept. The geography that remains lies within, but our extroverted society
seems largely determined not to explore it. So in a dream I heard the words, Flying low,
out of creation, they met some rough spots in the mountains
. The film, in five short
sections, explores and expands upon this statement. Beyond that, I would need to write
pages. Better to just say, Take a look.
