Trans-Pigmentational Slit (1980)

The film presents a remarkable recording of Vertical Slit's only surviving footage, filmed by director David Kerr in a rough, homemade style that reflects the band’s experimental, story-based music. The 30-minute video captures a single, improvisational performance that becomes much more than it seems, filled with striking, psychedelic imagery and surprising appearances by famous monsters from imagined futures. This rare look at Jim Shepard's influential band offers a compelling visual and auditory experience for both longtime fans and newcomers.
