He also made a number of short films in the mid-1960s in addition to "Report" and "Vivian". These include "Ten Second Film" (1965), an advertisement for the New York Film Festival that was rejected as being "too fast;" "Breakaway" (1966), featuring music sung by and danced to by Toni Basil; "The White Rose" (1967), documenting the removal of fellow artist Jay DeFeo's magnum opus from her San Francisco apartment, with Miles Davis's "Sketches of Spain" as the soundtrack; and "Looking for Mushrooms" (1967), a three-minute color wild ride with the Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows as the soundtrack. (In 1996 he created a longer version of the film, setting it to music by Terry Riley). In 1966, Dennis Hopper invited Conner to the location shoot for "Cool Hand Luke"; the artist shot the proceedings in 8mm, revisiting this footage in 2004 to create his film "Luke".
