The story of a groundbreaking, lost, 1970 dystopian sci-fi movie about environmental collapse is told in this new book by author and journalist Chris Campion (Some New Kind of Kick, The War is Here) and the film's writer-director Anthony Foutz. Shot in Joshua Tree and Los Angeles, and starring Gram Parsons, Michelle Phillips, Prince Stash, Nudie Cohn, and Julian Jones (the son of Rolling Stone Brian Jones), Saturation 70 has been described as an "ecological horror fantasy" and a "counterculture Wizard of Oz". The film was to feature advanced special effects by VFX pioneer Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Silent Running, Blade Runner). Containing a wealth of never-before-seen photographs and script fragments from Foutz's archive, and interviews with cast and crew, Saturation 70: A Vision Past of the Future Foretold is part counterculture fable, part historical record and work of cultural archaeology, reconstructing a film that exists, and can only exist, in the imagination.
