Since their inception in 1965, Pink Floyd has put out 15 studio albums. But for many, the Pink Floyd experience went beyond studio albums and into their incredible and legendary live performances. Pink Floyd : The Early Years 1965-1972 features an extensive look at the band during their time with original front man Syd Barrett and the addition of David Gilmour in 1970.

A merging of two previous Pink Floyd documentaries, this set examines the band from its formation through its Syd Barrett years. It includes the immediate post-Barrett albums, followed by an exploration of their legendary "Meddle" album. Through in-depth interviews with the band, studio clips and archival footage, this film sheds light on the early era of the rock institution that could well be considered a genre of its own.

Jennifer West won a 35mm film print of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Red Desert (1964) on Russian Ebay and dragged it along the Pink Beach off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, where some scenes of the film were shot. Fragments of coral and crushed shell create pink-hued sand that mark the surface of Antonioni’s first color film. Grains of sand and rocks coalesce upon and scratch the surface of the film, which was then transferred to HD frame by frame.
