        Berman. These various 8mm pieces have now been collected
        together and blown-up to 16mm. This new compilation features
        unseen scenes of Berman in his milieu with friends and family,
        including footage of a George Herms exhibition, a motorcycle
        ride (perhaps shot by Dean Stockwell) and 25 more minutes of
        footage related to ALEPH.

        Preserved with support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the
        Visual Arts. 8mm-to-16mm blow-up by BB Optics.
