Beyond Image (1969) perfectly evokes 1960s psychedelia and the spirit of the legendary UFO Club in London's Tottenham Court Road, where hip young things mixed with scene celebs like Mick Jagger and John Lennon to watch bands like Pink Floyd accompanied by groovy light shows.
Credited to the Sensual Laboratory - a collective including Mark Boyle, Joan Hills, Cameron Hills, John Claxton and Des Banner, which was responsible for psychedelic lightshows at various events in the late 1960s - the film uses coloured oils swirling and bubbling together, filmed through a series of filters to allow colours to slide and change. The film is completed by a pulsating soundtrack from Soft Machine, making for a far-out, mind-blowing feast of the senses.
