Schillaci's homily was on the passion, death and resurrection of man. Switching on an array of equipment, which included five 16-mm. movie projectors, four slide projectors and two tape recorders, Schillaci depicted passion in a wide variety of forms-refugees suffering in World War II, color images of bikini-clad girls, and motorcycle gangs from a Canadian-produced film entitled Satan's Choice. The sounds of Herb Alpert and Bob Dylan blasted the audience's ears...
...sunlight in that time, he has progressed steadily toward realizing his Middle East-inspired ideals of clarity and voluptuousness in paint. The measure of his success may be taken from the 45 ink-and-acrylic paintings that go on view at Washington's Phillips gallery this week (see color opposite). His forms are abstract; but as the artist points out, the Arab also gilds his mosques and minarets with nonrepresentational decoration. Over the years, Youngerman has consistently enlarged, unloosed and simplified his own bannerlike designs, intensifying the colors until his latest canvases almost seem to palpitate on the wall...

For example, it was remarked of the recent showing of a student thesis called The Production that color slides and a strobe seemed to be worked in just because they could be used, and not because the show called for them...
RICHARD Bartlett's A Question of Color (Boston University) proved a nicely-made and often-funny parody ofA Man And A woman. With Francis Lai's strings blaring on the soundtrack, the hero's Volvo roars down the highway, the camera treating it as if it were Ferrari's greatest master-piece; the lovers on a tiny piece of grimy beach are flanked by stagehands running around with large strips of colored paper; the bossa nova singing exhusband becomes a pudgy Hawaiian who falls down a flight of stairs to his death. All this is fine but somewhere from...
...film consists of his running through endless corridors, largely seen through computer monitors. The idea is simple and effective, and extraordinarily well filmed; the initial shot of the rebel, THX 1138 4EB, running toward the camera of a closed-circuit television instantly evokes a gut empathetic reaction, and the color and opticals (dissolves mostly) are employed with flair and discipline. If it all seems insubstantial when it's over, at least Lucas has made a valid stylistic exercise from a serviceable cinematic premise...
