A discussion of possibilities for man's release, in which seven young men, each of them involved in one of the arts (Carlo Ceniceros, Gene Schoefeld, Michael Hollingstead, Jim Arender, Scott Bartlett, Edward Bear, Iver Flom), talk for the greater part of the film about the various mystical processes important to them. Their conversation is edited so that ultimately the disucssion becomes a mantra, evolving around the nature of these men and the mysteries of their universe. 'A discussion of possibilities for man's release. Where in OFF-ON man travels into himself through his senses to his soul, in MOON man steps out of himself. Recommended to be shown with OFF-ON.' - Scott Bartlett. 'In 1968, Bartlett made a second videographic film, this time in black and white, called A TRIP TO THE MOON. It involved a live panel discussion between Bartlett and friends on the subject of the new consciousness, cosmic unity, and metamorphosis. Films and slides of the moon and rockets are keyed into the scene randomly and certain interesting effects were achieved by associating audio and video feedback techniques.' - GENE YOUNGBLOOD, 'EXPANDED CINEMA'. 'Not to be confused with George Melies' turn of the century classic of the same title, this fascinating film shows what can be done to make a discussion between seven men exciting cinema to watch. This is not the usual television approach of a camera panning uninterestingly from one speaker to another with the emphasis completely on what is being said. Exciting visuals go hand in hand with the topics of discussion: various mystical experiences, astrology, religious values - all intertwined. Teachers with more conservative doctrinal values will find this film hard to justify in their religious education programs, but those dealing with youth caught up in the dawning of the age of Aquarius may find this unusual film most helpful in stimulating discussion. It is recommended for use with senior highs and young adults. For those interested in film use, it is highly recommended.' - MEDIA FOR CHRISTIAN FORMATION.
