Synopsis:

Published and distributed by Contemporary Arts Media. 1. President Johnson's Visit: A film by Kit Guyatt and Christopher Cordeaux. A comment on U.S. President Lyndon Johnson's 1966 Australian tour, while Australian and American troops fought in Vietnam. 2. Balmain: An enquiry, at once lyrical and tragic, into the reality of (the inner Sydney suburb of) Balmain in 1969 - an historic, beautiful and ideally located residential suburb threatened with partial extinction by lack of government planning and foresight, and by indifference to residents' interests. 3. The Phallic Forest: The story is about Oliver and Julia, he in advertising, she an academic, living in a terrace house which they're renovating, while at the same time their relationship is falling apart. He starts an affair with somebody else and she retreats further into a fantasy world whose sometimes bizarre images the film does its best to recreate.
