Tempest

About This Movie

Tempest (1981) is an intriguing piece of animation that feels more like a meditative experience than a conventional narrative. The abstract visuals, crafted at EUE Video in NYC, pull you into a dreamlike state, almost like wandering through a visual poem. Its use of color and form is painterly, blending shapes and movements that seem to dance harmoniously with the ambient sounds created by Vibeke Sorensen and Walter Michael. The pacing is deliberate, allowing time for contemplation, which can be both mesmerizing and slightly disorienting. It’s a film that defies typical structure, leaning heavily into its experimental roots, which makes it stand apart in the realm of video art from that era.
