Self Portrait - 1969

John and Yoko were still involved with their own "home movies" and produced 'Self Portrait' which was a slow-motion sequence of John's penis in a semi erect state. The film was 42 minutes long and was premiered at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in September 1969. Two years later John recalled the film on a BBC television interview with Michael Parkinson; "That was a joke really. I made a film called 'Self Portrait', you know, and at that time I was a bit of a prick!". Yoko had said "The critics wouldn't touch it"
