A meta-documentary about a documentary, a documentary about a documentary, and a documentary documenting a documentary about a documentary.

Long unseen and now rightly venerated as a landmark fiction-documentary hybrid, SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM is "revelatory about filmmaking as a site of creative tension between individual vision and collective endeavour" (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times).

Directed by Harlem-born documentarian William Greaves, the film originally fell into obscurity but gained a cult status after screenings at film festivals, and in 2015 was added to the National Film Registry.
