THE HAUNTED WORLD OF GEORGE MOORSE (Church of Film)
American Beat Poet George Moorse relocated to Berlin in the 1960s, and established himself as a wunderkind filmmaker of the German New Cinema. Engaged by the Literarisches Colloquium Berlin to make "optical literature," he committed some of his favorite literary fascinations of horror and the occult onto experimental TV programming.
