"Comprises film and videotape from the August (1969) epic freak-out in New York State (White Lake- "Woodstock") with all the groups you can name, and a cast of half a million. Unlike the Rolling Stones films shown on British television, this is full-color and the techniques are more imaginative and acid-based than the Stones film, good as that was." – Alex Gross, London "International Times." Selected for the Montreal International Festival of Film in 16mm at the Museé des Beaux Arts; the Encounter With The American Cinema at Sorrento, Italy, 1970 (Selection of Martin Scorcese); and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris American Underground Film Weekend. Silent version premiered in 1969, accompanied by video and light show, in the extended opening program of Global Village in New York City.

A playful, psychedelic meditation on the ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein, **The Ghost of Wittgenstein** transforms philosophy into a kaleidoscope of image, sound and language. Eschewing conventional narrative, Ira Schneider combines rapidly shifting visuals, jazz and a looping conversation to explore the relationship between words, perception and reality. Alongside **I'd Rather Be Half Right Than Vice President** and **Lost in Cudilhy**, the film forms *The Charlotteruse with the Medal of the Wobbling Bubble in its Palm Trilogy*, a trio of experimental works restored in 2017 as part of a 16mm preservation project produced by Claudine Biswas-MacKenzie. The restored trilogy was subsequently presented at the Prada Fondazione in Milan and the Paris Independent Film Festival, celebrating Schneider's pioneering contribution to experimental film and early video art.

A mutual venture of a most inordinate sort. Vaguely a mistake, but fun at that.
