Director: Owen Land

Starring: Art Gower, Gunner Piotter, Tanny Young

Year: 1976

Runtime: 10 mins.

Synopsis: A reworking of an earlier film, Institutional Quality, in which the same test was given. In the earlier film, the person taking the test was not seen, and the film viewer in effect became the test taker. The newer version concerns itself with the effects of the test on the test taker. An attempt is made to escape from the oppressive environment of the test — a test containing meaningless, contradictory, and impossible-to-follow directions — by entering into the imagination. (from Canyon Cinema)

Director: Tom Palazzolo

Starring: Not Applicable

Year: 1976

Runtime: 15 mins.

Synopsis: We traveled to Indiana back roads to see and shoot the annual Miss Nude Universe Contest held at a “notorious” nudist camp. They wanted $15 a head at the gate so we parked down the road and crawled through the brush. Once in, we encountered truckers and hundreds of Sunday photographers straining for a shot at the contestants. Afterward we joined the quest for stray women willing to pose. After a quick success we headed home with our catch in the can. (This film also contains shots of the Mr. Nude Trucker Contest.) (from Canyon Cinema)
