The actual marathon had had its usual scheduling woes which meant by the time I got to the theater early enough to catch UFOria, it had already been running for 45 minutes.
I am still floored they had gotten ahead of schedule. I am pretty sure every year we attended ran at least slightly behind, even when they lost or had to substitute or couldn't play a movie because the digital key expired, which I maintain is one of the stupidest things allowed to happen with film distribution these days.
The film was dumped and sank and as far as we know never had a DVD release. We may very well have been watching the only extant 35mm print, which was why I decided to hike down the hill to the theater at 4 in the morning.
I am glad you saw as much of it as you did. Movies that weird and rare are always worth catching in the wild.
Damn, Time Piece was amazing. I want to say Henson did a few live-action film bits for early Sesame Street (I think he did the Painter bits) but nothing could possibly catch what he did in his grown-up work.
It should have won its Oscar! The Tarzan/olive cut alone.
