1964

Director: Ron Rice
Year: 1964
Synopsis: Polymorphously exotic, Chumlum conjures a vision from the Arabian Nights. As the actors pose in harem costumes and bizarre makeup, Rice explores the allure of indolent women, diaphanous hangings, and swaying hammocks. (from Treasures IV DVD booklet)

Director: Marie Menken
Year: 1964
Synopsis: Taken from a moving vehicle, for much of the footage. The rest uses stationary frame, stop-motion. In the harbor sequence, I had to wait for the right amount of activity, to show effectively the boats darting about; some sequences took over an hour to shoot, and last perhaps a minute on the screen. (from Film-Makers' Cooperative)

Director: Kurt Kren
Year: 1964
Synopsis: In 9/64 O Christmas Tree Kren offers a more visually descriptive development of a Muehl "action". The images have been chosen to follow a more dramatic sequence, probably because the action itself contained a wide range of images and materials. (From Six Pack Film.)
