See 2000-R5667-77 for a preliminary pencil sketch of this "First Vertical Screen" design., Colin Low directed the film "In the Labyrinth", which was produced using these drawings. "In the Labyrinth" is described on the NFB website as: A film without commentary in which multiple images, sometimes complementary, sometimes contrasting, draw the viewer through the different stages of a labyrinth. The tone of the film moves from great joy to wrenching sorrow; from stark simplicity to ceremonial pomp. It is life as it is lived by the people of the world, each one, as the film suggests, in a personal labyrinth. In the Labyrinth was first released as a multi-screen presentation for Chamber III of the Labyrinth at Expo 67. These separate images were integrated into a single strand of film,, using a "five-on-one" cinematic technique. Film without words.
