Earlier prints of the film had sequences that were meant to be projected on three different screens, an idea inspired in part by Abel Gance's "Napoléon". The three-screen version was shown at the Brussels World's Fair. Anger subsequently re-edited the film to layer the images. The film (primarily in the second or third version) was often shown in American universities and art galleries during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
