Aurora Borealis

About This Movie

Aurora Borealis is a fascinating exploration of visual poetry, leaning heavily into the surrealist influences of Cornell and Painleve. The film, crafted entirely from science and nature footage, transcends typical documentary formats. It plays with scale and perception, creating an almost dreamlike experience where the microscopic dances alongside the grandiose. The atmosphere is meditative, and the pacing allows you to linger in the beauty and confusion of what you’re witnessing. It’s distinct in its approach—stripped of any overt narrative or expository context, it invites viewers to interpret and reflect, making it a unique piece in any collection.

Aurora Borealis has seen limited releases, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Initially available on DVD, later formats are harder to come by. Interest tends to be from those who appreciate avant-garde cinema and the blending of science with art. It’s not a mainstream title, which adds to its allure for collectors seeking something off the beaten path.
