Description: A daring analogical pilgrimage, evoking the terrors and splendors of the human body as an undiscovered mysterious continent. The commentary by British poet George Barker uses imagist-symbolist technique. It is an historically important film as the first such study of the human form in film. Coming at the beginning of American avant-garde cinema, it helped liberate filmmakers and viewers from conventional narrative forms and film photography.
