Calligrams

About This Movie

Calligrams feels like stepping into a visual poem. Steina and Woody Vasulka blend experimental cinema with a tactile approach to media, creating a meditative experience. The film oscillates between abstract imagery and organic textures, and you can sense their fascination with the very nature of film itself. It's not just a movie; it’s an exploration of perception and reality, set against a backdrop of mesmerizing visuals that seem to pulse with their own life. The pacing is deliberate, almost hypnotic, drawing you in while challenging your expectations of narrative and form.

Calligrams is a rare find within the realm of experimental cinema, often overlooked by mainstream collectors. There have been few home video releases, and original prints are hard to come by, which adds to its allure. Interest among collectors is growing as more people delve into the Vasulkas' unique contributions to film and media art, but it remains a niche title that not many have in their collection.
