In this 1966-1968 film, six pioneering filmmakers - Stan Brakhage, Stan Vanderbeek, Jack Smith, Jonas Mekas, Andy Warhol, and T. Iimura - share their stories during the director's first US visit, offering a unique glimpse into their creative processes.

In this short film, Iimura crafts self-portraits and brief profiles of five fellow artists: Brakhage, Vanderbeek, Smith, Mekas, and Warhol. By emulating each artist's distinct style, Iimura offers a unique glimpse into their film techniques, including Vanderbeek's kinetic camera movements and Mekas' innovative use of film speed.
