Dharma Do as Dharma Does

About This Movie

So, this is a short film from Jon Jost, and it's got this really interesting vibe, you know? The pacing is kind of languid, almost dreamlike, which fits the themes that swirl around identity and existence. It's definitely not conventional—Jost seems to play with the viewer's perception, pulling you into this almost meditative state. The atmosphere is a bit heavy, but there's a beauty in that weight; it forces you to sit with the ideas presented. While the director is relatively unknown, the film's screening at festivals like Rotterdam gives it a bit of a spotlight, even if it didn't catch on widely. It's definitely distinctive, a piece that feels more like an experience than just a story.

This short has limited availability, which tends to pique the interest of collectors looking for unique indie films. The film hasn't been widely released in any particular format, making it somewhat elusive. There’s a niche appeal here, especially for those who appreciate Jost's experimental style and the film festival circuit. Overall, it’s an intriguing find for any serious collector interested in the evolution of short cinema.
