Note to Pati

About This Movie

Note to Pati is this intriguing exploration of winter's grip, blending the personal with the abstract in a way that feels both intimate and raw. It’s like a diary page torn from the cold hands of experience, echoing Mekas’ reflective style while tapping into Brakhage’s visceral approach to imagery. The pacing is contemplative; scenes unfold in a way that lets you linger in the atmosphere - the cold, the stillness, the fleeting moments of beauty and discomfort. It’s not your typical narrative, instead, it invites you to wander through the texture of life itself, making it a distinctive piece that challenges conventional storytelling. There’s a certain charm in its imperfections, a reminder of the fragility and beauty of everyday existence.

Note to Pati has had limited releases over the years, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. The film's experimental nature and its connection to influential figures like Mekas and Brakhage heighten its appeal, drawing interest from those who appreciate the avant-garde. Original prints are scarce, and while there have been some home video releases, the elusive nature of this film adds to its mystique within collector circles.
