Dr. Walley, I can not help with regard to the question, where did 7360 Sukiyaki premier? However I have uploaded to Vimeo an audio recording of Tony's projection / performance at Millennium Film Workshop on 6-15-74 which may be of interest to you, your research associate or others on this list.
https://vimeo.com/257530075 <https://vimeo.com/257530075> This recording includes: Film Feedback Projection of film that has been subjected to hammering, reassembled. Projection of films subjected to electrocution Projection of curried film. ( Curry by Marian Zazeela) Projection of creoled film stock 7360 Deep Fried - to be looked at sans projection Discussion of film pickling, film as a culinary ingredient “film material behaves more or less like onions” 7360 Sukiyaki Q & A Power to the people, David > On Feb 26, 2018, at 10:54 AM, Jonathan Walley <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you, d.olivier, for that perspective.
