Summary

Trailer for the film 'Thailand Moment' -Thailand Moment, one of Les Blank's earliest films, is a beautifully rendered visual experience. Blank and fellow filmmaker Skip Gerson were hired to work on a documentary about the B52 bombing campaigns over Vietnam. That film never came to be, but the two traveled during the downtime and filmed this gentle meditation on a lush country - a moment in time Although Thailand Moment is one of Les' earliest independent films, his style and ""voice"" are already apparent. As was the case with his film, God Respects Us When We Work, But Loves Us When We Dance, there is no narration, sync sound, or any interviews. The film is a beautifully rendered visual experience, from the unique perspective of Les Blank. The main music was played by a blind, homeless musician, and it brought both Les and Skip to tears during their recording of it. Unfortunately Les ran out of film so all that was captured was the mesmerizing audio. Les created the head title artwork but not much else, and left a rough edited work print unfinished when he died. Remastered by Harrod Blank (Son) in 2015.
