SF Trips Festival An Opening (1966)

Van Meter had three camera rolls of 7242 Ektachrome EFB which he fully ran through his camera each day of the 3day Trips Festival The end result was three 100 ft rolls of film that each had been triple exposed incamera each layer of exposure representing a day of the festival Aside from just two or three necessary structural edits Ben spliced the three rolls together essentially unedited This was then set to a soundtrack that was achieved in roughly the same manner via triple layering of sound he recorded throughout the festival He calls the film a documentary of the Trips Festival from the point of view of a goldfish in the punch bowl
