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.

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.

The title Septet refers not to the number of dancers but to the seven-part structure and stylistic variations of Eric Satie's score entitled Trois morceaux en forme de poire. The piece was choreographed for six dancers, with each of the seven movements ranging from grave to playful, as in the somber lyrical duet with Cunningham and Carolyn Brown, to the comical "solo of a desperate clown". The ballet was later described by Cage as "an experience that one is unable to resolve, leaving one, as a dream often does, uncertain of its meaning." Cunningham chose no scenery and simple costuming, with each of the three couples dressed in basic, unadorned fitted tops and pants. This performance of Septet was filmed by Finnish filmmaker Heikki Seppälä as part of a program that also featured Story, Night Wandering and Antic Meet. The program was broadcast live before a Finnish audience from a theater in Helsinki during the Cunningham Dance Company's 1964 World Tour. The film was recently located in the Finnish YLE broadcast archives and digitized from the original kinescope. It is the only motion picture to capture Cunningham performing Story and Septet, and the only film of Night Wandering and Antic Meet performed by Cunningham and the original cast on a proscenium stage rather than adapted for a television studio.

As its title suggests, this playful piece is much like a game. Squaregame was first performed on a surface resembling an athletic court. The set design by Mark Lancaster consisted of a white floor cloth surrounded by bands of green Astroturf - otherwise the stage was bare - and the costumes were practice clothes, with the dancers dressed in sweatpants and ankle socks. The duffel bags that defined the space played a part in the choreography: inactive dancers would sit on or against them on the sidelines, as if they were on the sidelines at a sporting event. A recurring theme was that of people hanging on to others and being carried or dragged along by them. This can be seen several times throughout the dance, as in when one of the male dancers lunged from side to side, doing a series of contractions, with a female dancer hanging on to his waist. In the finale, the dancers toss the duffel bags back and forth before assembling in a tableau resembling a family portrait. Squaregame was the first Cunningham dance for which Takehisa Kosugi wrote the score. S.E. Wave/E.W. Song explores the use of "ready-made" materials consisting of several pre-existing pieces of music and text that are then manipulated by the musicians. Two children's songs are used in sections for violin and melodica, wherein the musicians play notes from the songs backwards, out of order, and in other non-standard manners. Similarly, pre-existing texts are explored using experimental methods in the vocal sections. During performance, the instrumental performances and vocalizations are treated with delay and phaser effects of varying densities, and spatialized to created a 6-channel soundscape. Cunningham conceived Squaregame while on tour with a video adaptation in mind. The resulting Squaregame Video was created during a period of prolific video explorations in collaboration with director Charles Atlas. The choreography fit in a square area measured upon the larger rectangular space of the stage that was then transposed to the Westbeth studio for filming. Shot on a recently acquired black and white video camera, the film is the only document of Cunningham performing the dance with the original cast.
