OffOn by Scott Bartlett

seminal videographic film made by San Francisco based film maker Scott Bartlett with assistance from Tom Dewitt, Manny Meyer, and Michael McNamee in 1967. i read somewhere that in the early 80's Scott Bartlett was going to direct a feature film for American Zoetrope titled Interface. that would have been cool

An incredible piece of art. This is where psychedelia and the avant-garde meet.

First I absolutely love this film, but 2001's ending is almost as good as this and was trying to do something different. Seeing that ending in 70mm is mindblowing. 2001 is one of those films which suffers A LOT when watched on DVD or even Blu-ray.
