I could check that out. Thanks! I have the two Barbet Schroeder films with Floyd soundtracks, and they are quite fun. What's ZP about?

The story is a bit disjointed and includes a sex orgy in the Death Valley desert to Grateful Dead music.

Denouncing the real estate and how they are corrupting everyone out to make a buck , and not caring for the environemen t seems to be the main point.

Quite a pleasurable film. Made by Antonioni who had just made Blow-up before this one , about the Swinging London .

Great soundtrack with a superb ending to Floyd adaptiuon of Careful With that Axe Eugene.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well there's Zabrieske Point with Pink Floyd soundtrack, of which the last minute is the only bit worth watching.
And I suppose Floyd at Pompeii & ELP Pictures count as prog films as they were both shown at the cinema in the UK in the early 70's.
The Monkey's film Head had a one minute cameo with Frank Zappa walking a cow, surreal!

Thanks Jean!

I could find lots of references to this film from the web, but atleast not yet any place, where I could order or download it.

the movie "Dein Kopf ist ein schlafendes Auto" by Werner Penzel and Fritz Baumann from 1981 is about the Roman Bunka Band. the movie is only so-so, but the music is absolutely brilliant (Roman Bunka used to be guitar player of Embryo; in one episode of the movie they accidentially meet Embryo on the road and immediately start a session). the only album of this 3-piece band (Roman Bunka - guitar and oud, Gerald Luciano Hartwig - bass and sitar, Freddy Setz - drums, percussion and keyboards) is highly recommended. and it is out on CD meanwhile (+ some bonus tracks)!

It would be fun to know what's out there...

Recently I saw a film from late 60's APHRODITE'S CHILD. They pretended performing "Rain and Tears", while they had time from posing in their fancy clothes. Vangelis even gave a kiss to a tush of hellenistic statue, etc...
