...been run through and vetted frame by frame on the Moviola, the ratio of on-the-air footage to cutting-room-floor surplus is approximately 1 to 20. The deadlines are so relentless that few TV editors have the time to transpose film even if they want to. Just splicing together two frames of film can take up to 20 minutes, and a filmed interview can take even longer to assemble if the editor is trying to splice a single answer from two different parts of the film. A typical problem complicating such splicing: between questions, the interviewee may light...
Frank tells the audience he has decided not to cut his films and splice three of them together. "We will all be seeing them for the first time tonight, and I think I will like it." The three films will be Pull My Daisy, Me and My Brother, and a film commissioned by the American Film Institute about music, which ended up being a self-portrait.

...seen puffing happily in a duck blind. Cut. The sound track plays Smoke Gets in Your Eyes while a Winston kind of couple revels in a shipboard romance. Cut.

Cleaver himself has been successively an orthodox Black Muslim, a follower of Malcolm X, and is currently a Black Panther. He seems more or less intent on keeping up with the Jones boy, LeRoi, in expressing all "the funky facts...
...August at the Hotel Ozone is a shattering splice of life after the third World War. No one is left alive except eight young women and one old one (Beta Poničanová), who wander like nomads over the sere landscape. The nubile girls have never seen a man; their leader can scarcely remember what one looks like. Equipped with some of the trappings of the defunct civilization-tin cans, rifles, combat boots-they live like savages, telling the years by counting the rings of a tree trunk, hunting by blasting fish out of the river water with grenades...
