Saturation 70: a deluxe art book about a lost sci-fi film

Saturation 70 was a 1969 futurist update of The Wizard of Oz about a Victorian star child  who falls through a wormhole and finds himself in a dystopian vision of contemporary Los Angeles. The Kosmic Kiddies, themselves on a mission to rid the Earth of contaminants, are tasked with helping him find his way back home.

The star was five-year-old Julian Jones, the son of Rolling Stone Brian Jones.  Gram Parsons of The Flying Burrito Brothers and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas also appeared in the film. Financing fell apart during production and it was thought to be long lost but a Kickstarter campaign has been launched to fund a book about the project. Here’s the trailer for the book:
