Bolex is about a simple experiment with a rented Bolex which resulted surprisingly in a somewhat magical apparition. What sort of magic? It is the magic that every man in some degree experiences during his life at the sight of a young woman. The film talks about Achilles and the daughter of the Priest of Apollo but since then I read an 1841 account of how George Washington was smitten when unexpectedly he saw a young woman sitting under a tree in the wilds of what is now western Pennsylvania reading a poem. He was young, too, and if the story is true he must have forgotten Martha, to whom he was then engaged. But the story of the magic is true - through thousands of years it has been the same surprising story.

Among the dancers I especially admired – probably the one I admired the most – was Trisha Brown, and she let me film the [March 30, 1971] rehearsal of her remarkable dance at the Whitney Museum. What I admired about her was her absolute courage, and this was shown by the concept and execution of her dance at the Whitney. Most dancers hesitate a little when they are called upon to do something which might involve a disconcerting accident, but Trisha always did whatever was called for without that moment of hesitation. – Walter Gutman

This is the most complete evocation of my raison d'etre—at least my avowed raison d'etre as a filmmaker. The star of the film is Claudia Wilbourn who you may have seen on TV. She is one of the founding mothers and champions of Women's Body Building. She is a sculptor and writer and felt as I did that the effect of body building when filmed nude as I did makes it look in frequent sections like antique Greek sculpture. The effect of filming a body building performance repetitively is to create a dance of the body. —Gutman
