Avocada

Avocada

1966 · 37 min

"a study of high-art writhing. Carole Morell writhes as if she were born to writhe in movies; writhes like a movie star among flickering candles and smouldering camera movement. Avocada has a percussive Peruvian soundtrack. It is steeped in blue green shadows. It is incomparable and nutritiously beautiful. It is a film possessed of gilded glamour"

Brothel

Brothel · 1966

Brothel is a 45-minute color film starring Mario Montez, Jack Smith, Piero Heliczer, Tosh Carillo, and Francis Francine.

Lupe

The film — a mix of music, colors, abstract scenes and little dialogue — is based loosely on the life and death of Mexican-American actress Lupe Velez. The music, far more than mere background, borders on serving as the film’s narrative and ranges from classical to contemporary pop music.
