T H I R

About This Movie

T H I R is a fascinating artifact of early intermedia performance, blending film and music in a way that feels both experimental and deeply personal. Shot in the beautiful Keene Valley, the film captures the raw beauty of the Adirondack Mountains, using a Beaulieu 16 mm camera that gives it a unique texture. The original soundtrack adds another layer, recorded in 1972, but the new soundtrack, 'One Large Rose,' reinterprets the whole experience, creating an intriguing contrast. It’s not just a film; it’s a meditative exploration of space and sound, with an atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. The pacing is unhurried, almost dreamlike, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the visuals and soundscapes.

T H I R remains a rarity among collectors, given its niche appeal and limited release as part of the 'Ten Hundred Inch Radii' series. Originally filmed in the early 70s, finding a print can be tricky, and many collectors appreciate its experimental nature. The dual soundtracks—especially the newer one—add layers to the viewing experience, making it a topic of discussion in niche film circles. It’s the kind of film that speaks to those who appreciate the intersection of art and cinema, especially in its historical context.
