The Search
1971, Danish. Directed by Peter Saske & Vagn Lundbye & Henning Christiansen & Peter Engberg & Jørgen Leth & Ole John & Camilla Skousen & Ann Bierlich & Ursula Reuter Christiansen & John Davidsen.
The Search is the ultimate happening film created by a group of ABCinema members during a camp on the Juttish heath. The film consists of loosely composed sequences. The landscape is the setting for a series of peculiar occurrences in which individual members were free to realize personal ideas, fantasies and themes: a man runs across the heath, shouting, a Molotov cocktail flares on a beach, a man repeatedly falls over, an angel-like woman makes a solitary procession, a burning pine, a man breaking a tree with a shovel, etc.
