The Search is the ultimate happening film created by a group of ABCinema members during a camp on the Juttish heath. The film consists of loosely composed sequences. The landscape is the setting for a series of peculiar occurrences in which individual members were free to realize personal ideas, fantasies and themes: a man runs across the heath, shouting, a Molotov cocktail flares on a beach, a man repeatedly falls over, an angel-like woman makes a solitary procession, a burning pine, a man breaking a tree with a shovel, etc.
The Search was directed by Peter Saske, Vagn Lundbye, Henning Christiansen, Peter Engberg, Jørgen Leth, Ole John, Camilla Skousen, Ann Bierlich, Ursula Reuter Christiansen and John Davidsen.
The Search runs for 36min, and was released in 1970.
