Abstract
A two-and-a-half minute image-packed expression of the evolution of man out of suffering seen through the use of animated portraits, decaying clay sculptures and various optical effects. Joel Liveris, who graduated from Calumet High School, was a senior in photography and art at the University of Illinois Circle Campus at the time he made the film. It is part of a series of student films that all won awards at the 1972 Young Chicago Filmmaker’s Festival sponsored by the Chicago Public Library. The film was also shown at the Fountain Valley Flim Festival and the Yale Film Festival, where it was awarded first prize in the college category of the festival.
