Duration:

Year Published: 19691973

Complete Record: A film by Coni Beeson The film is silent but there are credits at the end with a few musicians. A waterfall drives us into many-layered blue and purple images of women (including one pregnant woman wearing a bright red shirt), flowers, groundcover, and trees. Integrated into this about halfway through, are moving and still images of a woman giving birth. There are a few fleeting still images of paintings of women, sometimes with children, including a Madonna and Child painting and many glimpses of the Mona Lisa. We come back to the waterfall as the credits begin to appear.
