Electronic music by Fred Coulter. With Bob Ohlrich, Pat Myers, Jake Leed, Mary Leed. "... a work of ambition and great technical virtuosity ... there is enough going on in AKRAN to command anyone's attention. And much of that is lovely and wonderfully difficult." - Greenspun, The New York Times
"AKRAN by Richard Myers was unquestionably the discovery of the year .... It captures in rapid brilliant flashes the fears, the frustrations, the hang-ups, the hopes - the emotional texture of young people today .... It is a fascinating, penetrating film, and introduces Myers as one of the most original and creative independent talents around today." - Arthur Knight
"Richard Myers is unquestionably a major talent of the American avant-garde and AKRAN one of his most important films .... It creates a Joyce-like, dense and somber mosaic of memory and sensory impressions, a texture instead of a plot, a dream-like flow of visually-induced associations." - Amos Vogel, Film as a Subversive Art
