S.F. Trips Festival, An Opening

In February of 1966 the San Francisco Trips Festival was held at Longshoreman's Hall in San Francisco. This was the seminal event of the 60's rock scene. A lot of different folks did their thing including Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. I filmed it in my then inmitable style. I have always described it as "A documentary of the event from the pov of a goldfish in the koolaid bowl." It is written about in all of the scholarly books about experimental film and has been hailed by one academic as, "The most psychedellic film ever made." Whatever. Enjoy,
