Capturing the essence of late 60s psychedelia, 'Beyond Image' explores the colour and light effects of oils moving between glass plates, creating the filmic equivalent of a lava lamp. The film perfectly evokes the spirit of the legendary UFO Club in London's Tottenham Court Road, where hip young things mixed with scene celebrities like Mick Jagger and John Lennon to watch bands like the Pink Floyd accompanied by groovy light shows. Credited to the Sensual Laboratory - a collective including Mark Boyle, Joan Hills, Cameron Hills, John Claxton and Des Banner, which was responsible for psychedelic lightshows at various events in the late 1960s - the film uses coloured oils swirling and bubbling together and filmed through a series of filters to allow colours to slide and change. It is completed by a pulsating soundtrack from Soft Machine, making for a far-out, mind-blowing feast for the senses. |
