Lapis

About This Movie

Lapis is an intriguing piece, you know? It’s an experimental animation that really dives into abstraction. The visuals are mesmerizing; those small circles pulsate and morph, creating a sort of hypnotic rhythm that plays off the sitar music. It’s not your typical animated fare—there's a uniqueness to its creation, being crafted on early computer equipment over three years. The color palette resembles a living kaleidoscope, and honestly, it’s a bit meditative. The pacing feels deliberate, almost inviting you to lose yourself in its flow. There's a certain charm in its primitive nature that gives it character, a reminder of the early days of digital art forms. It’s not just about animation; it's an experience.

Lapis has had a bit of a niche following among collectors of experimental cinema. It’s not readily available on modern formats, making original prints or screenings rather rare. Many of us appreciate its historical context, reflecting the early integration of computer technology in art. The scarcity of this title adds to its allure for collectors, as it stands as a testament to the creativity of its era.
