Just about everyone is aware of the product, but what of the process? How did it all begin and what happen­ ed?

It all began when a couple of people heard an early morning ABC news rep ort that a shipment of yellowcake was leav­ ing Mary Kathleen for a southern port. The report was foUowed up and all they could find out was a no comment from Mary' Kathleen Uranium and that the report was based on a tip off. So the tram line Was staked out and when the shipment passed, the contameis noted. Railway yards were checked out and it was found that the containers were down at Hamilton Wharf.

Einstein wrote that our most beautiful experience is the mysterious. Those who agree will enjoy Black Moon, for the story is not laid out, beginning and end, for immediate surface comprehension. Instead, the film generates an ebb and flow of occurrences, making a metaphor of an incoherent but diabolic mind. The stream of events are sometimes interrupt­ ed by flashes of insight, flashes that must be meaningful if only their significance can be discovered. One of the depatures from convention­ al cinema is the multiplicity of points of view. At the beginning you are a small furry animal on the bitumen facing a speeding, approaching car. Sexual politics has deteriorated to the ultimate; there is a war between the sexes on a complete military scale, but the stream flows away from this front line action to a strange farm, to occasionally return. Living there are a group of eccentrics, including horses, a unicorn, several humans, pigs, and a talking rat. Another is the expression of cosmic and psychic phenomena and the name of the film hints at this. Ancient and pagan religions hold the key to lost secrets.
