Prime Time (1958) poster

This was another sample promotional film, which Lye offered to television stations. He scratched some dramatic black-and-white abstract images, hand-coloured them, and combined them with African drum music. The film gives us a taste of what Free Radicals would have looked like if it had been made in colour rather than black-and-white.
