Fly is a 1970 avant-garde short film directed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Filmed a year prior to the release of Ono's 1971 album of the same name,[1] the short depicts a housefly crawling around on the body of a nude woman, actress Virginia Lust. By the end of the film, multiple flies can be seen on Lust's body. The film's visuals are accompanied by "Fly", a composition by Lennon and Ono that would later appear on Ono's album of the same name.[2]

Production

Fly was conceived as a two-sentence premise initially titled Film No. 11: "About a fly going from the toe to head of a lying naked body, crawling very slowly. The whole film should take about an hour."Шаблон:Sfn

Soundtrack

The film's soundtrack was conceived in the Regency Hotel in New York on Christmas day in 1970.Шаблон:Sfn Lennon recorded the soundtrack on a multitrack Nagra audio recorder in three parts. The first "movement" features vocal improvisations by Ono, and the second features those vocals played back on the recorder while Lennon performs on a guitar.Шаблон:Sfn The third part of the soundtrack was recorded as follows: Lennon played guitar against the reversed playback of the second section of the soundtrack; this recording was then reversed (described by scholar Melissa Ragona as "a kind of double negative"),Шаблон:Sfn and played alongside another vocal solo by Ono.Шаблон:Sfn When the doubly-reversed recording finished, Ono continued performing vocally, and Lennon played a live radio.Шаблон:Sfn

The soundtrack would later be released as a track titled "Fly", appearing on Ono's 1971 album of the same name.Шаблон:Sfn
