“Clock,” a never-before-seen film from John Lennon and Yoko Ono, is almost out in the world, over 50 years after it was first filmed. Today, a new teaser for the film was shared, depicting Lennon performing “Honey Don’t” in the St. Regis Hotel in New York while Ono sits beside him, one of 20 songs included in the film. In the foreground of the shot is a gold clock, which forms the central conceit of the hour-long project.

In 1971, Lennon and Ono were gearing up to release “Imagine,” the groundbreaking longform music video to accompany the album Imagine. Before filming scenes for that project, they filmed two other videos. One, “Freedom,” was Ono’s idea, while “Clock” was Lennon’s. The film is a single shot focused on the gold clock for one hour while Lennon and Ono perform and busy themselves in the background. “It’s gonna be a clock, you know, so it’s not like a proper movie. It’ll just be like a background,” Lennon says in the film, going on to describe talking through the frame at a quarter-hour mark and so on to help keep time. “At the hour we should just go completely barmy or something. On the hour, we’ll just run out hysterically, OK?”

The soundtrack for “Clock” is being shared as Lennon and Ono’s work takes an extended stay in the spotlight with the release of Power To The People. The massive 12-disc box set—nine CDs and three Blu-Rays—focuses on the early years the couple spent in New York and the political activism that accompanied it, including their One To One benefit concert. “It embodied what John and I strongly believed in – Rock for Peace and Enlightenment,” writes Ono in the box set’s preface. “And this one in Madison Square Garden turned out to be the last concert John and I did together. Imagine Peace. Peace is Power. Power To The People!” The set is produced by Sean Ono Lennon, who said he “was completely floored putting this collection together and getting to remix the concerts and hearing all the unreleased material from my parents’ archive for the first time.” Power To The People is officially available on October 10.
