Assemblage is a recently rediscovered film produced for broadcast by San Francisco's public television station KQED in November 1968. Created in collaboration with director and former dancer Richard Moore, the film features Cunningham dancing with early dance company members in a public "happening" in San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square. Conceived from the beginning as a dance staged for the camera, the performance is amplified by Moore's special effects and complemented with a soundtrack by John Cage, David Tudor and Gordon Mumma. A testament to Cunningham's groundbreaking investigations of dance and movement within the virtual spaces of film, Assemblage presents a dance that unfolds across fractured space and inside shattered time. Cunningham explained that "the finished film [would] deal not so much with dance in the narrow sense, but with various motions - boats moving, people walking, and, of course, groups dancing." On screen, Cunningham's dancers walk, frolic, and scramble through the shopping concourses and promenades of the square. The soundtrack, assembled contemporaneously by Cage, Tudor and Mumma, was likewise comprised of concrete sounds mostly recorded on-site around San Francisco.Cunningham and his company spent three weeks rehearsing and filming on location in fall 1968, creating what Moore described as "movement modules." From these sequences, Moore and film editor Bill Yahraus crafted a motion picture collage of overlapping movements and moments, which occur sometimes in fragmented film windows, sometimes within superimposed planes. Moore used extensive optical illusion and process photography, dancers were filmed as silhouettes and superimposed on different backgrounds. In one composited sequence, Cunningham's company becomes a miniaturized troupe of Lilliputian dancers, weaving in and out of the dancing legs of gigantic versions of themselves. Rediscovered after Cunningham's death, the restored Assemblage was transferred and colorized the film from the original 16mm prints by filmmaker Charles Atlas, a longtime collaborator on Cunningham's dance films.

"Beach Birds for Camera" is an adaptation of a dance work originally made for the stage adding three additional dancers. This film combines different shooting locations, black and white and color film, and Dolby stereo sound to present dance through the visual medium of film. When it was first suggested to John Cage that he should create a work in collaboration with Merce Cunningham for the 1991 James Joyce/John Cage Festival in Zurich, Cage had the idea to write a large scale piece to be called "Ocean," the projected title for Joyce's next novel - never to be written - following "Finnegan's Wake." No suitable space was available for such a project, so it was decided that instead a new dance would be made for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's repertory. Cunningham had always intended to call his part of the work "Beach Birds," and so the title remains. Filmed at Kaufman Astoria Studios and Industria Superstudio in New York, NY, December, 1991.

First performed at the 13th American Dance Festival in the summer of 1960, Crises was described by Cunningham as "an adventure in togetherness." Choreographed for four women and one man, the dance focused on physical contact between the dancers. The physical entanglements came both through holding each other and being held, and through elastic bands, worn around a wrist, an arm, a waist or a leg, which connected the dancers in various positions. Cage noted, "This is a dramatic, though not a narrative, dance concerned with decisive moments in the relationship between a man and four women." Conlon Nancarrow's musical score reinforced the dance's harsh atmosphere with an assortment of jangling rhythms, and Rauschenberg's costumes were leotards in various shades of red, evoking the romance of the piece. This film, shot during rehearsal at the 1961 American Dance Festival at Connecticut College, has historically been the definitive reference for the dance Crises, and is the only motion picture of Cunningham performing the dance with the original cast. The newly restored Crises was digitized from the original black and white 16mm reversal print held in the American Dance Festival Archives, and coupled with an audio restoration of the original recording of Nancarrow's Rhythm Studies for Player Piano.

"Deli Commedia" was conceived as a slapstick comedy. Cunningham's nod to the improvised farces of the 18th Century commesia del'arte. The music, like the action, is a throwback to silent film days when actors 'danced' their story line and exaggerated conveying emotion, the piano all the while providing dramatic emphasis. Comic kinetic jokes, cakewalking, tango, lindy hop, imaginative juxtaposition of bodies, props, and special effects are enhanced by aural image of old-time player piano. Filmed at the Merce Cunningham Studio, Westbeth, New York, NY. In the film, Merce Cunningham strove to create the sense of different spaces or scenes within the Cunningham Studio and incorporated various possibilities presented by its physical layout into the development of the choreography.
