Without dialogue

Stoltz constructed Pinktoned using footage of passersby he filmed from his art studio in East Hollywood interspersed with still images from an archive of photographic slides he found at a rummage sale at the Echo Park Film Center. These images picture the streets of Los Angeles covered with wheat-pasted movie posters for Underground, a 1976 documentary about the Weather Underground. Due to the age of the slides, the full spectrum of colour has deteriorated into a gradation of pinks. Interrupting the dual “documentaries” is a black-and-white moving graphic accompanied by a 16mm optical soundtrack that features “pink tone” frequencies.
