Bent Time

About This Movie

So, Bent Time is this fascinating experimental piece from '83 that takes you on a visual journey across the US through one-point perspective. It begins in a linear accelerator, which sets a really unique tone—this sense of travel through space and time that’s quite meditative. The way it connects locations like Chaco Canyon and the Golden Gate Bridge feels almost like a poetic exploration of history and energy. There’s no dialogue to distract from the visuals, and the pacing lends itself to reflection rather than action. It's distinctive mainly for its practical effects and the way it utilizes real geographical sites to create an almost spiritual experience, making it a curious find for any archival film enthusiast.

Bent Time is quite rare in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release and the obscurity of its director. While the film has circulated on various formats over the years, it retains a certain elusive quality that draws interest from those who appreciate experimental cinema. Its unique approach and thematic depth often leave collectors intrigued, making it a curious piece to seek out.
