Features four short files and interviews and clips. The films are: Organism (1975), 9 Variations (1966), Highway (1958), Longhorn (1951). "Organism is Academy Award(TM)-winning film maker Hilary Harris' epic vision of New York City, shot over 15 years (1959-1974) during which time he pioneered and contemporized time-lapse film making techniques to achieve a unique experiential view of the world we inhabit. Hilary Harris is one of the few really interesting film makers in the country... keen and penetrating visual perception... a search for the understanding of the complex world about us... a rare combination of qualities necessary to making great films." --Leo Hurwitz, former head of the NYU Graduate School of the Arts.
