Burning Lights

About This Movie

So, 'Burning Lights' is an intriguing piece by Benjamin Crooks, unlike anything else really. It's a visual experiment, showcasing 36 stills and 3 short videos that play with the concept of patterns and perception. The pacing is deliberately slow, inviting you to linger with each image, letting the atmosphere seep in. There’s a kind of meditative quality to it, almost like a visual poem. The practical effects used in crafting these images are quite striking, giving each frame a tactile feel. It’s not about conventional storytelling; it’s more about the experience itself, I think. Definitely makes you think about how we interpret visuals in a digital age.

This film has had limited releases, primarily in art-house venues, which has made it quite scarce. Collectors are showing interest not just for its experimental nature but also for the unique way it challenges traditional narrative forms. Formats are still evolving, with some speculation about potential future home media releases, but currently, it's one for those who appreciate the avant-garde.
