First Love (1964)

Documentary featuring Jim Morrison's only surviving UCLA film "First Love" shown in entirety.

Jim Morrison's only surviving UCLA film, a proto-commentary on the male gaze. A woman emerges, stops at a water fountain. A voyeur attempts to photograph her from above. When she disappears from sight, he slumps to the ground and begins to fondle his telephoto lens, presented here as a phallic symbol.
