  When William Burroughs and artist Brion Gysin met filmmaker Anthony Balch they knew they had the person to help them in translating the ideas they had explored in art forms to film.Balch began his moviemaking career with Burroughs on two shorts 'Towers Open Fire' and 'The Cut Ups'. Following the death of Anthony Balch in 1980 the films remain untouched until Psychic TV's Genesis P.Orridge salvaged and archived them. This unique collection comprises all the films made during that period. In addition to the finished works the video includes a 50 minute film called 'Ghosts at No. 9' which uses cut-ups of film and superimpositions material from the extensive archive of Psychic TV and to which Orridge added the soundtrack - making ""Thee Films"" a unique collection for all Burroughs fans.
