Phase IV

Screening on Film
Directed by Saul Bass.
With Nigel Davenport, Michael Murphy, Lynne Frederick.
US , 1974, 35mm, color, 93 min.

The only feature film directed by pioneering graphic designer – and inventor of the modern film title sequence – Saul Bass, Phase IV is an idiosyncratic cautionary tale about nature taking revenge for man’s recklessness. Again featuring superb insect photography, Bass’s visually stunning film pits two scientists – and the inevitable female love interest – against an army of super-intelligent desert ants.
