“A document of what happened when a group of radical ‘Jesus Freaks’ from Berkeley met conservative Christians in seminaries and colleges across the U.S.” – Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Catalogue, 1980.
“He manages to set off a uniquely hypnotic experience. The viewer discovers the possibility of looking at the film like a ‘winkie toy’, seeing first one view then flashing to another. Because all footage is sound sync, this screening process hones our responses, until we see more in Land’s 3-frame sequences than we would in hour long doses of ‘normal’ time. Like the study of signs, this study of seconds yields a knowledge of people and truth inaccessible to more common observation.” – B. Ruby Rich.
