Before his death, LEN LYE completed the drawings for Tal Farlow, his last scratch film. Just before he died, he gave approval for his assistant, Steven Jones (an experimental film-maker) to complete the film. Jones edited it into its present shape, which also received the approval of Ann Lye, widow of the film-maker.
For one and a half minutes, white lines “dance” and “sway” to a jazz guitar solo by Tal Farlow.
