Leacock and Pennebaker filmed choreographer Merce Cunningham's dance "Rainforest" as part of the 1968 Buffalo Arts Festival's program of experimental art, music, dance, poetry and theatre called "Whose Afraid of the Avant-Garde." The dance composition also featured music by David Tudor, costumes by Jasper Johns, and sets by Andy Warhol. To create Channels/Inserts, Cunningham and Atlas divided the Cunningham Dance Company's Westbeth studio into sixteen possible areas for dancing and used chance methods based on the I Ching to determine the order in which these spaces would be used, the number of dancers to be seen, and the events that would occur in each space. Atlas employed cross-cutting and animated mattes or wipes to indicate a simultaneity of dance events occurring in different spaces, as well as to allow for diversity in the continuity of the image.

Convoy screening
2017-02-23 19:30 - 21:20 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Convoy (Sam Peckinpah, U.S. 1978, 110 min., 35mm) as part of the Ernest Borgnine series.
On the short list of feature films based on popular songs—in this case C. W. McCall's CB-radio themed novelty hit "Convoy"—sam Peckinpah's rollicking, proudly lowbrow comedy adventure leads the pack. The blacktop meet-cute of Peckinpah veterans Kris Kristofferson (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) and Ali MacGraw (The Getaway) may be something out of a screwball comedy, but the film—about a convoy of interstate truckers on the run from a corrupt county sheriff (Ernest Borgnine)—is really a western in trucker drag. It's rumored that much of the second-unit direction was taken over by actor James Coburn due to Peckinpah's failing health. Ironically, the film was the most financially successful of Bloody Sam's career.
