"One of the most extraordinary personali- ties in the history of moving images, New Yorker Ken Jacobs, and his wife/creative partner Flo Jacobs, sit down for a series of talks, reflecting on numerous clips from the many films and performances conjured onto screens since 1955 and through to today. From antic collaborations with Jack Smith and company, through seminal, ground-breaking formalist works, to the invention of the Nervous System and his patented 3D Eternalisms."
- Fred Riedel
"Films picture the world. My images of the world are impossible so you have to be alert. This is ideology. I want to bring people to the point of questioning what they see. You have the obligation to protect your individual perception. I don't want the audience to believe, I want them to be entertained by illusions that they recognize as illusions."
- Ken Jacobs
"Combining an extended and sometimes disarmingly personal interview with Ken and his partner in life and art, Flo Jacobs, with copious excerpts from his astonishingly multi-faceted body of moving-image work, Riedel's film demonstrates not only Jacobs' creative accomplishments but also his restless intelligence, his inimitable personality, and his unheralded verbal genius."
