A 1971 experimental Canadian film directed by Michael Snow. Shot in the Canadian mountains over a period of 24 hours using a robotic arm.
Sinekatalog’s take
A radical experiment in which a robotic camera sweeps over a remote landscape for hours. There is no story or people, just rotation, rhythm and nature. A hypnotic challenge for adventurous lovers of structural cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
