One Parallel Movie
(AKA One P.M.)

Directed by Jean-Luc Godard and D.A. Pennebaker.
US, 1972, digital video, color, 90 min.

One of the Dziga Vertov Group projects of the 1960s, Jean Luc Godard’s collaboration with filmmakers Richard Leacock and D.A. Pennebaker on the 1968 film One A.M. (One American Movie) fell apart when Godard became disillusioned with the project. After Godard's departure, Pennebaker and Leacock edited the resulting footage into One Parallel Movie (aka One P.M.). A reflexive piece that marks the unceremonious end of the decade, the film includes footage of Rip Torn, Tom Hayden, Eldridge Cleaver, The Jefferson Airplane and Godard himself.
