Plot
The film runs 50 minutes and features various couples—heterosexuals and gay—kissing for 3 and a half minutes each. The film features Barbara Rubin, Gerard Malanga, Johnny Dodd, Ed Sanders, Mark Lancaster, Baby Jane Holzer, and Robert Indiana.[2]
Soundtrack
In 1964, La Monte Young provided a loud minimalist drone soundtrack to Kiss when shown as small TV-sized projections at the entrance lobby to the third New York Film Festival held at Lincoln Center.[3]
Release
In July 1964, Kiss was shown with its predecessor Sleep at the Park Square Cinema in Boston.[4]
In October 1964, 36 minutes of the film was intended to be screened at the University of Manitoba as part of an avant-garde film exhibition, but the censorship board in Winnipeg prohibited the showing of the film.[5]
