Conner and his wife, artist Jean Conner, moved to Mexico c. 1962, despite the increasing popularity of his work. The two — along with their just-born son, Robert — returned to the USA and were living in Massachusetts in 1963, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Conner filmed the television coverage of the event and edited and re-edited the footage with stock footage into another meditation on violence which he titled "Report". The film was issued several times as it was re-edited.
