A document of what happened when a group of radical “Jesus freaks” from Berkeley met conservative Christians in seminaries and colleges across the U.S. “He manages to set off a uniquely hypnotic experience. The viewer discovers the possibility of looking at the film like a ‘winkie’ toy, seeing first one view then flashing to another. Because all footage is sound sync, this screening process hones our responses, until we see more in Land’s three-frame sequences than we would in hour-long doses of ‘normal’ time. Like the study of signs, this study of seconds yields a knowledge of people and truth inaccessible to more common observation.” – B. Ruby Rich
