Synopsis: 'Threshold' is based on a small number of component sequences. It begins with abstract colour fields filling the whole screen then develops through other simple abstract images created by accidental exposure of film stock - edge fogging. The main image of the film is of border guards at a frontier post.
The film explores a range of film printing techniques using colour filtering, mattes and multiple superimpositions. It also includes a short section of computer generated abstract animation made at the Government Atomic Energy Laboratory in Britain in 1969.
The performance version of the film is an improvisation - moving the projectors and superimposing the image as the projection takes place.
