Director(s)
Synopsis
The only feature film that Saul Bass ever directed is a complete psychotropic delight. This woefully underseen film follows in the footsteps of Stanley Kubrick's 2001 as a classic of trippy, freakout cinema. Deep in a secluded desert facility, scientists are studying the behavior of ants, when they discover that the ants are a collective sentient consciousness that may be influencing humanity. The scientists attempt to destroy them, but the ants have other ideas.

Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Film Archivist Sean Savage will introduce the film. Prepare yourself to dive deep into the lushly photographed imagination of Saul Bass!
