Symbiopsychotaxiplasm (1968) by Bill Greaves | Film Discussion

Film: Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (1968) Director: Bill Greaves  Country: USA  Language: English  Format: Documentary   Synopsis: In Manhattan’s Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It’s a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what’s wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? What’s the nature of making a movie?   The Arthaus Project is an invite-only online film society catering to the more experienced cinephile.
