A Portrait of the Poet as James Broughton (Part One)
"I know only that this work is an homage to that begun in cinema by Jean Cocteau in his famous trilogy and that, through James, I have become his successor, however unworthy, to continue the work. This film is the first that I have completed which has a soundtrack wholly my own, composed of voices and natural sounds which I recorded, edited, and tape-altered myself. Besides that, my former use of lab-printed and in-camera superimposition to create complex images has been augmented by extensive optical printing. I was forced to build my own printer from surplus parts and to learn how to use it before I could make this film. Perhaps that is why it took so long." —John Luther
