COMMENTS
Shown during the James Broughton tribute. James Broughton appeared in person.
A film suite in four parts based on poems in my book Musical Chairs (1950). Each movement of this quartet is a variation on the theme of the quest for love, embodying forms of desire at crucial age levels from the child of ten to the man of 40, and extending in mood from the farcical to the elegiac.
—James Broughton
FACTOID #173
Though he starred in an Opening Night film (1967’s How I Won the War), lent his image and songs to 1968’s Festival entry Yellow Submarine and was scheduled to appear at the 1971 Festival with wife Yoko for an evening of their short films, John Lennon never attended the SFIFF.
