"Joyous, exhilarating, and transformative. Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present is essential viewing for anyone involved in the history of music and visual art."
– Amy Taubin, Artforum

From his involvement in Jack Smith's film Flaming Creatures to his creation of a series of experimental films and his central role in the formation of the Velvet Underground, Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present examines the pioneering life and work of artist, musician and educator Tony Conrad.

Using archival footage gleaned from his twenty-year career, as well as his own film and music recordings, the documentary goes behind the scenes of an audiovisual revolution that began in the 1960s.
