Summary:"I remember my first birth in water," reads Anaïs Nin in her husband Ian Hugo's aquatic fantasy formed of "hieroglyphs of a language in which our unconscious is trying to convey important, urgent messages." The mix of charged language and stunning abstract imagery and music moves the viewer towards -- to paraphrase Marianne Moore -- "the lost continent within our selves." 16mm 1.37:1 color sound: acted & recited by Anaïs Nin from Nin's House of Incest; production, photography Ian Hugo; abstract color effects Len Lye, Ian Hugo; electronic music by Louis and Bebe Barron.
