Stan Brakhage — Plot

This film consists of loosely assembled footage including a confrontation between abortion-rights advocates, abortion-rights opponents and police at Chicago's Daley Center Plaza (likely during the protest on June 17, 1989 which attracted approximately 5,000 attendees), a brief shot of Soldier Field, a double exposure of a moonlit rural countryside, a close-up of a car passenger's typing hands, a ship’s steering wheel, a street intersection, a camera which lays next to a loosely scattered pack of batteries and a portrait shot of Bill Stamets as he peers through a still camera’s viewfinder.
