Dog Star Man: Prelude

“This film’s themes are as vast as its subject matter and techniques: the relationships between man and his surroundings, of the personal to the general, of seeing to perception.” – Fred Camper “The film breathes and is an organic and surging thing… it is a colossal lyrical adventure-dance of image in every variation of color.” – Michael McClure
