Wrap around the World

About This Movie

Wrap around the World is this fascinating experiment in global connectivity, a real testament to the early days of satellite technology. You’ve got David Bowie, of course, who adds this ethereal quality with his performance alongside La, La, La, Human Steps, and the conversations with Ryuichi Sakamoto feel intimate yet expansive. The vibe is very much avant-garde, blending cultures and artistic expressions, and it creates this unique atmosphere that feels like a soundscape more than just a film. It’s not just a concert film; it’s an exploration of what it means to connect across distances, making it distinct in the landscape of late '80s multimedia art.

This film is a rare piece within the collector community, often overlooked due to its experimental nature and non-traditional release. It's not readily available in mainstream formats, which adds to its scarcity. Interest tends to come from fans of avant-garde cinema and those intrigued by the intersection of music and multimedia art. Over time, it has cultivated a niche audience among collectors who appreciate its historical significance and unique presentation.
