About This Movie

So, '6-18-67' is this fascinating short documentary that floats around in its own little universe. It’s not your typical behind-the-scenes look at a movie set, instead it drifts through the Arizona desert, capturing the stark beauty of the landscape. The pacing is meditative, almost hypnotic, as it uses time-lapse photography to show the changing light and shadows, interwoven with a rich ambient soundscape. It feels like the desert is alive, breathing in its own rhythm. What sets it apart is the complete absence of a narrative; it’s just a visual poem, really. You get lost in it, which is something you don’t find in many films from that era. Definitely a unique gem in the documentary scene of the '60s.

This film is relatively rare in collector circles, often overshadowed by the bigger productions of the time. Its format history is limited, mostly existing in niche collections and festival archives. Interest tends to be higher among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema and experimental works, making it a curious find for collectors aiming to explore unconventional documentaries.
