"Labyrinth" is a groundbreaking multi-screen 45-minute presentation produced for Chamber III of the Labyrinth at Expo 67 in Montreal, using 35 mm and 70 mm film projected simultaneously on multiple screens.

Re-released in 1979 as "In the Labyrinth" by the National Film Board of Canada in a 21-minute single projection format.
