Synopsis

Color UCLA Student Film, Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. An Animation Workshop film that visualizes the beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "The World is a Beautiful Place" by melding collage and cel animation. Repurposing images from popular magazines, Frew juxtaposes photographs of the Holocaust genocide with the hyper-pop images of American culture, contextualized by the rising anti-Vietnam War and Student Protest movements of the late 1960s.
