In Auto Olympia an ancient Greek torch runner, transported to the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, confronts the complexity of modern urban life. Using the machine/body dichotomy as a recurring theme and the L.A. freeway as a central metaphor, Miller blends narrative, documentary, fantasy and abstract visual elements to explore both ancient and modern implications of the Olympic theme, "faster, higher, stronger." Original music by the Doo-Dooettes (Tom Recchion and Frederick Nilsen) is composed of digitized sounds from the downtown environment.
