This first film by a young New Zealand art student uses the motorcycle as a sex symbol in the lives of the “beat” generation…a girl’s infatuation with a motorcycle and its rider. This film was made as a design project at the School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland, and makes interesting use of various film techniques.
