Best known for his collaborations with rock iconoclast Frank Zappa in the 1970s (Dub Room Special, Baby Snakes, The Amazing Mr. Bickford), underground animator Bruce Bickford has influenced generations of artists with his startlingly original vision.

 

Prometheus’ Garden (28 minutes, 1988) is the only film over which Bickford maintained complete creative control. Bright Eye Pictures is thrilled to offer an exclusive release of Prometheus’ Garden, making it available to the public for the first time since its completion two decades ago. The DVD features a commentary track by Bickford, an alternate score by Laird Dixon, and the half hour documentary featurette, Luck of a Foghorn, directed by Brett Ingram.

 

View the trailer and buy the DVD. Bruce Bickford is a pure artist of modest means. When you buy the Monster Road or Prometheus’ Garden/Luck of a Foghorn DVDs directly from this site, you maximize your support of this underground animator whose work continues to inspire new generations of artists.
