HISTORY OF THE
TELETIMES
Running Time: 75 minutes(Color, Sound)
The History OF THE TELE TIMES is a documentary that describes, in music and anecdote, the counter cultural magazine THE TELE TIMES that was published in Berkeley, California from 1978 to 1982 and that became, according to noted comix artist R. Crumb in a letter to Duncan, "The quintessential underground comix." Begun by B.N. Duncan and Wild Billy Wolf and continued by Duncan and Ace Backwords, talented cartoonists themselves, the little xeroxed magazine became a compendium of off-beat writing and visual art by street people and people on the fringe. It documented the painful transition from the idealism and hope of the 60's hippies to the more harsh and angry reality of life on the street (Telegraph Avenue) and the developing punk movement. This film celebrates the effort and describes the history of every issue, from first to the last, punctuated by scenes of Berkeley set against the amazing music of Alfonia Tims.
