Wild Gunman
Directed by: Craig Baldwin
year: 1978 19 minutes
Mobilizing wildly diverse found-footage fragments, obsessive optical printing and a dense "musique concrete" soundtrack, a maniac montage of pop-cultural amusements, cowboy iconography and advertising imagery is re-contextualized within the contemporary geopolitical crisis in this scathing critique of U.S. cultural and political imperialism.

Well, those cat scenes are going to give me nightmares.
A psychedelic tribute, somewhere between a poem and a nightmare.
