OP, POP & KICKY FLICKS - ORIGINAL PROGRAM

In December 1965, UCLA hosts their second student film screening event of the year at the Royce Hall Auditorium. The sixth semi-annual event, hosted by the head of the UCLA Motion Picture Division Ed Brokaw, is titled Op, Pop & Kicky Flicks, and includes an eight minute film by Ray Manzarek titled Who And Where I Live. During the screening of the film, The Doors give one of their earliest live performances as a newly formed group in which they perform an instrumental soundtrack to Who And Where I Live while the audience watches. The original program for this event profiles many of the films shown at the event, including Ray's Who And Where I Live, Patient 411: A Progress Report by Ronald Raley, a film crediting Jim Morrison with cinematography, and Five Situations For Camera, Recorder and People, a film by Alex Prisadsky that credits Jim Morrison with sound.
