Stan Brakhage's debut film tells the story of the surge, pacification, and outflow of desire awakened by an accidental encounter between two beings temporarily frozen in time — a man and a woman — who stand below an arcade of viaducts as one car after another speeds by above them. The sensual piano accompaniment was complemented by Brakhage's roommate and future composer, James Tenney. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
