Would be fitting if they are like ITSOTS since Marianne appears in <em>Lucifer Rising</em>. Maybe that's why they never turned up on TV!

When I first saw this at Liverpool's now-defunct Bluecoat Film Club circa 1988, I was utterly bewitched. My later viewings of Anger, Deren etc. were heavily coloured by my exposure to this work. I only wish his two videos for Marianne Faithful were commercially available - or just available! - as the brief clip I've seen of 'Witches Song' seems a direct continuation of ITSOTS. Dancing Ledge is also a brilliant achievement; one of the most inspiring autobiographical books I've ever read. My favourite Jarman film bar none.
